I seem to recall that early talking book recordings on cassette were
sometimes prepared for a special cassette machine that enabled the use of
the two stereo tracks as four separate mono tracks. I assume that hose PB
machines had reverse play and head switching to play a single coherent
mono
track continuously from track 1 through track 4.


Even if this is the case, you should still end up with two separate tracks
when using a standard stereo cassette player, except that one of these will
merely be in reverse.

I re-read the original post and what bothers me is that he seems to be
saying that he recorded in mono. This leads me to believe that all he may
need to do is set SoundForge to record a stereo file, after which he can
create two new mono tracks and then use the reverse function to correct the
backward one.
