As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" as well as an avid music collector, and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write about and or discuss various recording tapes.


Maxell's stellar reputation for VHS and cassettes tapes has been a staple of the industry for decades.

The Maxell 8 hour High Quality will give you terrific clarity and the ability to preserve the recording if you plan to use it only one time. Eight hour tapes are not made to be durable to erase after each viewing.

Please make sure the VHS heads are clean or the tape will not give you the optimum results regardless of the brand.

Please consider the Maxell HG T-120 VHS Tape (6 hour at slow speed)and not 8 hour because:


A quick note that even if the 8-hour VHS tape seems like a bargain, stay away from it. The standard of the industry is six because anything above means a thinner tape has to run through the machine and is absolutely more susceptible to breakage.

Since six hours will handle almost everyones needs and the prices are very cosumer friendly, the eight hour will cost you more in the long run with breakage.


Enjoy the music and be well,

I like these 160 tapes because they let me go away on the weekend and tape my favorite shows.
