If you were a kid, as I was, working at the minimum wage of $1.00 per hour, then $12.00 for a 7.5 IPS two track tape was a lot of money. One year I managed to scrape together enough money for a tape deck, Dynaco Preamp. Citation II amplifier and a pair of KLH-6 speakers. I had enough money left over to buy one pre-recorded tape. This was a 4 track London recording of Ansermet playing the Rite of Spring and Petrushka. When I got tired of one ballet, I had the other. This went on for several weeks until I could expand my library.
