license the Emitape formula
and put that in their Quantegy boxes so  they would have tape that is
as good as their  machines.



Well said Gino.  The reason we still use EMI tape is because it  has to be 
one of the world's most stable tape formulations ever.  It never  sheds, clogs 
or deteriorates on the shelf.  The famous Eddie Klein, ex  Abbey Road Studios 
and keeper of all things Macca has a lifetime's experience of  EMI tape.  When 
they compiled the Beatles' Anthology, Eddie was regularly  getting the master 
tapes out of the vaults, all of which are EMI and they played  immaculately 
with little more than one pass through the tape deck and a soft  cloth catching 
any dust.  And these tapes are over 40 years old in many  cases.  
 
We approached ATR two years ago to consider resurrecting on the  EMI 
formulation.  Maybe it's time to suggest it once more.
 
Best,
 
Martin
