You are looking at a lot of 13 BASF 7-inch reel-to-reel tapes in their original grey BASF hard shell cases, all Made in Germany (Badische Anilin- & Soda-Fabrik AG, Ludwigshafen). These tapes were carefully recorded and meticulously labeled by their original owner — a true music lover with excellent taste. Tape labels are clean and handwritten in blue ink, track listing is legible on most reels.
What’s on these tapes — artists include:
∙ Santana (“Evil Ways,” Abraxas full album)
