I've looked on eBay but the USA seems to be the only option to buy leader tape. Unfortunately a number of pre recorded tapes I've bought have no leader on them. I need the tape itself and whatever sticky tape is needed to connect it to the music tape

Any tips on where to buy the stuff in the UK please?
 
Back when I used to buy pre-recorded tapes on eBay (usually from the USA) I don’t think any of them had leader tape. I suspect they all had a sufficient length of blank tape on either end of the music to render it unnecessary.
 
Hi MotelBlues

It's a mixed bag to be honest. Some pre recorded reels I've bought have a clear leader tape: others don't. I reliable that the leader tape isn't essential but a bit of extra that is more hard wearing that I can use to thread the reel on to another spool might be handy

BTW is your moniker because you spend too much time in motels or you like Blues music? :)
 
search for guy /Birmingham who sells empty reels that have modified with a thin vinyl print revox/teac etc .. in his ebay shop you will get leader tape
