"Stranger in Paradise"— took their melodies from the
classics. Eight of these lovely themes— in their original

the Hit Parade," a program with strength, variety, and,
of course, rich melodic beauty.
This unusual program, professionally recorded in
sparkling full fidelity on Audiotape, is available Right
Now from Audiotape dealers everywhere. (And only
from Audiotape dealers.) Ask to hear a portion of the
program, if you like. Then, take your choice of a half-
hour of two-track stereo, or 55 minutes of four-track
stereo or dual-track monaural sound — all at 7% ips.
Don't pass up this unique opportunity.
"Classics that Made the
Hit Parade" makes an ideal
addition to Audio's first two
bonus reels, "Blood-and-
Thunder Classics" and "High
Spirits," still available at
Audiotape dealers.

permits monitoring broadcast program several sec-
onds before it goes on the air. Designed for 600-ohm
balanced lines at plus 4 VU. For use with telephones,
frequency response is intentionally limited to maxi-
mize intelligibility and minimize hum and noise.
