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.
