grey market 15ips 1/4" tape sounds better than any pressings i have heard. and considering what the very best pressings might cost and the difficulty finding them, the tapes are reasonable to purchase and find. and I have spent considerable efforts finding great pressings and own most/all of the box sets too.
i have 6 Beatles albums on tape and while i have no idea (no one would) the exact provenance of these tapes they easily surpass my good to very good pressings including some original pressings.
so...….get the tape.
