   On some inexpensive portable mono cassette recorders, the erase head   
   erased a bit of the other track as well.  This wouldn't be   
   noticeable when played back on a mono machine, but when played back   
   in stereo, one channel was significantly noisier than the other.  In   
   at least one case, I just used one of the two (originally identical)   
   stereo signals.  The cassettes recorded in stereo, whether by me or   
   others or prerecorded, didn't have this problem.
