Summary: disapapointed (sic)
Review: Bought these "premimum" (sic) tapes on Amazon through "J&R Music and Computer World" and received "standard grade". Only now do I notice that the pic of the box is too small to see which is actually being displayed in that picture, and that it's one of the few that can't be expanded in size. Regardless, premium tapes are being advertised here. Rated "J&R Music and Computer World" after disappointing receival and was told that their ratings are not currently being displayed. Now I know why. It's getting harder and harder to find quality tapes. Thought I could rely on Amazon.com. I was wrong. Amazon.com should take some responsibility for this partner via public ratings or else dump them.

Summary: I got the wrong tape, too
Review: Dear Ma'ams and Sirs,J&R sent me Standard grade tapes, which I can purchase anywhere. I wanted / ordered Premium grade, which is more impossible to find in my neck of the woods. The invoice that came with the Standard tapes is from J&R, so I came really close to emailing J&R directly regarding their screw up. However, since Amazon's never done me wrong, and since I ordered the tapes on the Amazon website, I decided to email my problem to Amazon, instead. Let them fight with J&R. Clues about J&R's problem with this item: The title on the Amazon webpage says "Premimum," instead of "Premium." Maybe a contributing factor? I just submitted a Page Correction, which is a form available on the bottom of the item's webpage. Interestingly, because of that typographical error, an Amazon-search for "TDK 160 Premium" does not return any item. The J&R invoice that came with my shipment of Standard tapes lists the description of the item as "TDK 160 Minute VHS P." Apparently, the lonely "P" is insufficient to flag the Stock Room personnel that the order is for "Premium" grade tapes. Also, since I'm not the first person stating this problem in this feedback section, it suggests that some clueless stock-person at J&R is shipping a lot of Standard tapes by mistake, and the Premiums are sitting on their shelves collecting dust. This error being made continually by J&R's stockroom must be eliminating any profits they would otherwise be enjoying for this item. Otherwise, J&R has a fine reputation. Certainly, by the time you read this feedback, the problem will have been solved. Right? Best luck,

Summary: The Best Blank Tape Around
Review: I am a collector of TV shows. I have 30+ tapes filled with TV shows that I recorded. I've recorded on several different brands, including Panasonic, Sony, and Maxell. The Panasonic tapes played back terribly. Sony gave me a little trouble but not much. Maxell gave me no trouble, but they're hard to find in my area. So TDK is my choice. It has never given me trouble, it is readily available, I can tape in EP with almost no quality loss. A note to other collectors and/or fans of TV, if you ever want to tape a TV program, TDK tapes will never let you down.

Summary: TDK revue T160 8hr. vhs tape
Review: I bought 2-4 packs tdk t160 vhs tapes. All 8 tapes were bad &
couldn't be played back w/o lines going up & down speed jumping
auto tracking was going crazy. Called co. & said to them i had
8 vhs tapes that were bad & cause i had so many would you send
me a pre-paid label for replacement.They said no company policy
was i would have to pay shipping to company. I said no way i'd
pay for so many. And i won't buy any tdk products again. So now
warrenty is a factor in buying vhs tapes for future purchases.

Summary: Guys...TDK Revue tapes ARE the standard grade ones
Review: I love taping TV programs and have many tapes full of them. But I've been especially impressed with TDK tapes. The picture and sound quality are great, even in EP mode (which extends to 8 hours on these tapes, so you can get more stuff on them). Plus they have very high durability. I've tried many different brands (TDK, Sony, Maxell and Panasonic, which turned out to be the worst) but TDK has made me the happiest.

Summary: Guys...TDK Revue tapes ARE the standard grade ones
Review: Those who are said they got the wrong tapes need to do a little more research. JR didn't send you the wrong tapes...Revue tapes are standard grade tapes. What is misleading is that TDK markets them with the term "premium quality", but they are still standard grade tapes. The tapes (in order of increasing quality) are:
Revue - "Standard Grade"
HS - "High Standard" grade
Vivid - "High Grade"
EHG - "Extra High Grade"
...and they go up from there.
I'm not supposed to post a url, so do a google search for TDK's website using the following search criteria "tdk recmedia vhs" and you will get detailed information regarding these tapes.
