I just received a Tape Project Tape bought on Audiogon and played Reel B last evening through headphones. Somewhere on the web I had read that the tapes were packaged "tails out" and I did rewind the tape onto the empty supply reel before playing it. It played wonderfully and I can't wait to play Reel A through my stereo rig. It would seem that somewhere on the packaging, liner notes, or a sticky note on the tape reel, that there should be a message that the tape comes "tails out". I looked for this before I played it because I wasn't sure if that was right, and I couldn't find any answers on the Tape Project web-site or United Home Audio web-site. Just thought this would help those new to the fold.

The original packaging included an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of printed cardstock that explains the need for a meticulously maintained deck, the proper storage environment and that the tape is on the reel tail out. It sounds like the Audiogon seller failed to include that sheet in your album.

Thanks! Apparently they did forget that, but no harm done. I listened to reel A of the Robert Cray album on my full system last night - it sounded very effortless, and I could play it louder than SACD's. There is something to the "continuousness" of analog. Need to start saving up for a subscription.
