Miami Tape Inc.

Miami Tape was founded in 1974. Their original address was located at 8180 NW 103rd st, Hialeah Gardens, Florida. They had a vinyl pressing plant by the name of Pro Sound inc. and a printing business by the name of Universal Litho inc, Florida mastering lab and duplication service, known for the mastering work of Jorge Garcia. Filed as a Domestic for Profit Corporation Tuesday, July 30, 1974, and sometimes appears as Miami Tape or Miami Tapes. Miami Tape also had a special way to add the vinyl mastering dates in the runouts (e.g. D-S-ND). Because one of their clients didn't want the date to appear, Miami Tape made a up a special code, partially using Spanish numbers: X = 0 U = 1 D = 2 T = 3 K = 4 C = 5 S = 6 Z or 2 = 7 O = 8 N = 9 UX = 10 UU = 11 UD = 12 etc. The pattern is usually: M-D-Y or M-DD-Y or MM-D-Y or MM-DD-Y or MM-DD-YY. Examples: N-N-C = Nove Nove Cuatro = 9-9-74 UX-DC-OU = Uno Cero-Dos Cinquo-Ocho Uno = 10-15-81 T-D2-2 = Tres-Dos Siete-Siete = 3-27-87 U-DC-N = Uno-Dos Cinquo-Nueve = 1-15-90 D-UN-NT = Dos-Uno Nueve-Nueve Tres = 2-19-93 2-DS-NN = Siete-Dos Seis-Nueve Nueve = 7-26-99 The system was given up after 1999.
