The (almost) Complete Barclay Crocker Audio Tapes Guide By David Winter (version of 15-NOV-2012) Change log: - Minor fixes including a PRO reference. Still a few in red miss a letter not shown in the original BC catalog. If you wish to contribute, please email clear pictures or scans of both tape box and index to [email protected] Please make sure that your files are at least 1024 pixels large and show complete box cover and index. Thank you ! Label codes: Sonic Sentry: ARG: Argo On some tapes, side 1 is shorter than side 2. In order to locate the begining of the tape, BC put their Sonic BC: Barclay Crocker Sentry signal which will produce special tones when the tape is played in Fast Forward mode. On some DGR: Deutsches Grammophon recorders, you may engage the manual spooling mode (as if you had to edit it) and play it. On some others, DSM: Desmar you may use a trigger or push-button to engage the tape toward the heads while fast forwarding.

Tape not listed in the last BC catalog, but not extremely rare for such I would like to thank the following eBay sellers for their clear tape pictures and descriptions without which many titles would remain incomplete: Proto: Production sample (never released) changesbowie (Mitzi Martin and Kenny), polyphonyclassics, and reelshiny. I apologize if I omited any other seller who helped. I would like to thank the numerous eBay sellers who sold LPs also released by BC, without whom I would have never been able to complete many titles. I would also like to thank Danvid Mansell who provided additional pictures. Catalog Qtity Composer(s), Title(s) Performer(s) ? (BC sample) ? Beethoven: Serenade / Glinka: Trio Pathetique / L.
