Tape Review
The Half-Track Golden Age (and How We Got There)

Two-track stereo reels grew out of early post-war tape, when consumer releases were mostly mono (often with a “flip the reel” second side).

The industry eventually moved to 4-track because it was cheaper and offered more playing time- learn more here.
