Revolver Tap "biasonic Sound"

Here's a listing foe a reel-to-reel stereo tape of Revolver that advertises the "full range Biasonic process." I've seen the Duophonic format for the Big Hits Of England And USA VA compilation, but I never heard of the Biasonic format.

Any insight here as to what it is, date range, Beatles recordings on which it is found, rarity, etc. ?

The Biasonic process from Magnetic Tape Duplicators was first used on commercial tapes from Capitol in the middle of 1965.
For the first year (1965-66), the sticker reads NEW Biasonic process.
From fall, 1966, to c. 1967, the sticker reads "Full Range" Biasonic process.

Thanks, Frank. It looks like this stickered version was the norm for the stereo tapes, although I'm guessing that they were not big sellers.
