Worth noting that the "tape recorder" was reel to reel not mainstream compact cassette.
Reel to reel usually ran the tape almost 4 times faster with over 3x wider tape vs mainstream compact cassette, so it was very high quality.

Though I suppose it might be more of a concern in commercial usage than at home… One interesting fact I've come across is that e.g. when Bob Dylan's "electric trilogy" first came out on CD, they apparently had to do new remixes of Bringing It All Back Home and Blonde On Blonde not because they just felt like it, like they so often seem to do these days for artistic and/or sales-tactical reasons, but simply because by that time the original master tapes (including the safety copy) had worn out somewhat through continuous re-pressings of the original vinyl albums.
