1974 war die Glanzzeit der "magnetischen" Audio- Recorder
Das Hifi-Stereo- Kassettengerät mit der Philips CC-Kassette hatte im unteren und mittleren Qualitätsbereich der Magnet- bandgeräte bereits alles abgeräumt, aber die großen "open reel" Boliden sind nach wie vor gefragt - noch. Das geht zwar nur noch wenige Jahre gut, aber wir bleiben in 1974. Die großen Hifi-Verlage in USA wie auch in Deutschland bringen daher jährlich eine Marktübersicht - in USA "Guide" genannt - heraus.
Und darum gleich im Vorhinein, diese Marktübersichten waren nie allgemeingültig oder etwa neutral. Wer von den Herstellern oder Importeuren mit seinen Produkten in diese Listen aufgenommen werden wollte, der mußte das über den ganz normalen Anzeigenpreis (mit etwas Mengenrabatt) pro Spaltenmillimeter bezahlen. Nichts davon war kostenlos. Diese "Guides" sind also reine Werbeblättchen unter dem Deckmäntelchen der produktneutralen Marktübersicht.
In den riesigen USA konnte es sich aufgrund der Größe des Landes kein Hersteller leisten, nicht dabei zu sein. Anders war die anfängliche Intention von "off duty", einer kostenlosen Werbezeitung fürs US -Militär, aus Deutschland West für Deutschland West.
