How to Tell
- Some pre-1989 tapes have a record tab intact. Most tapes omit it, however.
- Pre-1986 tapes may have a silent color bars test pattern.
- 1986-1987 tapes may have a silent white screen test pattern.
- Nearly all post-1988 tapes have a shuffling rainbow transition pattern at the beginning, middle and/or end.
- Some post-1988 tapes have a hi-fi track, in addition to a linear one.
- Such 1988-1990 tapes have a gray-text ink-label. Most post-1990 tapes have a white-text ink-label.
- Most 1987-1990 tapes have a dark ink print date in an unusual format. However, pre-1987 tapes do not have a print date at all, neither do post-1990 tapes.
- Print date example -- if the print date reads "AUG 25 89", that means the tape was printed on August 25, 1989.
