Tape is great. I would kill to have some of the tapes they play in the MBL room at the shows. But those tapes are a collection of various great and fun recordings by great artists. And they are not available to most mortals.
And obviously, value is a subjective thing, but paying around $500 for a tape seems steep compared to a record or an SACD. You can get an artist's entire boxed set on vinyl for the price of a single tape. God bless those who can afford them, but even if you can afford it, you may not like all the songs on the tape.
