Subj : Roland Synthesizer Contest tapes

Hi all,

Does anyone remember when Roland released their synthesizer contest tapes in
the 80s (and I think the late 70s too)?  My dad had their 8th Annual
Synthesizer Contest Winner tape, which he gave to me eventually.  I've since
recorded that tape onto my PC in digital form, but it had been played so much
that I've wondered if another less-played copy of the tape would sound better. 
Last year, I found someone selling the 6th & 7th Roland synthesizer contest
tapes on eBay and bought them and recorded those onto my PC.  I think those
ones sound better (less hiss etc.) - perhaps they had not been played much. 
I've been wanting to find another (better?) copy of their 8th contest tape to
see if it would sound better.  I'd be interested in also finding their other
contest tapes as well (right now I just have their 6th, 7th, and 8th).  I've
looked online but it seems there isn't much information about them at all.

Another reason I've been looking up their 8th contest tape online is because I
somehow lost the cassette tape liner notes a long time ago, so I don't know the
song names.  I happened to find one online (the author had a web page available
that mentioned it), but otherwise I don't know the  other song names.
