What kind of deck (make, model) did you get?

If you have the right equipment and a clean reel, they sound amazing. Lots of pieces to that puzzle. Remember that tape doesn't deal with the same physical issues as vinyl.. example being that vinyl mastering has to notch certain frequencies to not make the needle jump off the groove. Eq is re applied in playback. Tape is straight, just like the original masters.
I don't collect reel but know several who do.

I think "It's only rock'n'roll" was the last one.
I got all reel to reel except:
- Exile on main street
- Goat head soup
- It's only rock'n'roll
They are really more expensive and hard to find than the others.

These must be very scarce as I've never seen any of these .
I have all the same ones as His Majesty

I have the same one! These are not consumer decks for listening. These were considered "semi-professional" decks for multi-track recording. It uses both directions of 1/4" tape (two sides of stereo) to record four tracks. You can overdub. This would not have been a deck to listen to pre-recorded albums on, though I think you can use it for that....I am working on moving the recordings I made with my bands in the early 80s from this deck to digital. Fun project!

I've seen Exile and Goats Head on ebay. Both were 7.5 IPS and had blue labels on a black reel.
Exile sold for something like $200.
I've never seen a copy of IORR.
Can anybody confirm that this definitely exists? I thought GHS was the last one released.

Reel-to-reel was a consumer high-end format in the 50s and 60s. It was deemed to have better sound than audio.

That would be an amazing sound indeed.
