Almost all tapes sold at the times - at least, after a given time (can't remember, again, too old dinosaur I am...) were recorded with Dolby B; none AFAIK with Dolby C; Dolby S improves the play of Dolby B recorded tapes.
Agree with TomArrow, a home recorded tape - from a CD/LD, using chrome or metal tape, with Dolby C - outperform an original tape.
P.S. Once I had a tape deck with DBX - it was exceptional! Sadly, there were so few of them, that I can't swap tapes recorded in DBX with anyone - no internet at the times - so I ended up to record most, if not all, of them in Dolby C.
