Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes

About 30 years ago, I had a nice 4 channel Reel-to Reel tape machine. I think that was the best fidelity I've ever heard. I have researched a little, but haven't found many pre-recorded tapes available. I guess it's almost like searching for 78 records. I'm loving my vinyl, but wish I could find a place that offered many titles of tapes. Is there such a place?

They are recorded very well and sound astonishing IMO.

I just bought a 4 track stereo TEAC A-3300SX, and am starting to assemble a collection of pre-recorded tapes. With the first, “Best of Cream” at 3-3/4 IPS I was thrilled to hear those favourites like “Badge”, “White Room”, “I Feel Free” and “SWLABR” with bigger, fuller and richer sound for the first time all over again. “Days of Future Passed” at 3-3/4 is on its way, and I can’t wait. Looking for other landmark classic Rock pre-recorded releases like “Strange Days” and Zeppelin IV. Also looking for some recommendations.

For whatever it’s worth, Amoeba Music stocks every format of tape except open reel. Go figure.
