Looking through Facebook, I noticed Capitol's Playtapes,
& a discogs list of playtapes by most labels
I see them as US versions of EP's, but only on Mono Tape!
1967-1969 period...Love to get a Tapes Rip's of all the Playtapes [EP's]

Re: MGM Playtapes in the US
It’s funny how most of these early albums have the 1967 photo on them… If you look in the gatefold of the official Hollywood bowl released from the 70s, you will notice one of these on there… I worked for about a week with the guy who designed that album package, and pointed out to him! He had never even noticed.

Re: MGM Playtapes in the US
Are these eight-track tapes,that engage the capstan and motor after they're inserted in the player, or four-track tapes that have a hole underneath where the player's idler wheel comes up to press the tape against the capstan? The latter is how radio tape cartridges worked up until they were outmoded by digital sound files.
