REALISTIC SUPERTAPE GOLD - 1978 - US

Realistic were a brand of Radio Shack / Tandy Corporation.

This was a US made cassette, sold in the late 70's and extensively during the early 80s, also widely distributed in Canada.

Supertape GOLD is Radio Shack’s premium ferric formulation (type I) tape. This high performance tape is designed to provide superior recordings on all cassette equipment. Described by Realistic as "The Ultimate Dynamic Range Recording Tape". 

This is a Super Ferric tape and you will be very glad you got some of these. Great performance tape. This is definitely not the most glamorous looking cassette tape, but then again, Realistic never really produced pretty tapes. However, the price vs performance ratio is the highest of any current available tape anywhere. In fact, for those pretty tapes that you have, I would go as far as to suggest to throw the pancakes of your good looking tapes (if they're damaged, of course), and replace them with these... hmm, that's actually sounds like a good idea...
Anyway, it's a good performance tape and it's right down cheap! Where are you going to get first generation super-ferric tape for $4.78/90 minutes?
Stock is low now. December 29, 2024.

Note! I opened one of these tapes up to take pictures of the tape and the pressure felt pad had come off its place. This is an easy repair, so I will not tinker with these. They are sealed by a clear round sticker. UNREALISTIC PRICE! Pun intended! :)
