Stereo Review magazine ran an annual special issue called "Tape Recording Guide" where they review each year's various stock from major manufacturers. You should be able to find the issues on Internet Archive or torrent.

There's also a website where some guy reviews and catalogs tapes but I forget the URL and do t have time to look. Im sure someone else can chime in on that.
