Description

These tapes are Type 4 (Back Coated / No Sticky Shed) and are guaranteed to record well, without stick shed or squealing. Some additional information:

Shamrock and Emerald were budget reel to reel tape brands manufactured by Irish / Ampex through the 1960s to 1980s. According to experience, the quality of these tapes varied tremendously, depending on when and where you bought them. Mostly they were non-spec tapes based on regular Ampex formulations. We have identified 8 generations of this tape, and this one offered is the forth type we identified. Low Noise stock, back coated, no sticky shed. For all-purpose (non-critical) recording, the price is right for a lot of 40!
