Philippines release
Standard clear cassette case is in good condition, meaning there are no cracks or pieces missing, although a scuff mark "here and there". Clamshell text is a pale Yellow paper label each side, the front cover is "full sized" meaning it wraps completely around the tape, with the slots diecut for the supply and takeup spindles.
The clamshell is held together using 4x screws (not plastic welded), which is a good thing as if ever you needed to get inside (lube job etc) there is every chance of doing this without any issues but watch out for de-spooling tape!
Before playing I repacked the tape (wound fully forward then backwards to the beginning so that the tape is re-tensioned) and carefully visually inspected the clamshell, rollers and head pressure pad - no issues with the shell or tape at all.
The audio is clean and the sound quality is very good, and there were no problems heard at all with "drop outs" and the program material has been played entirely on both Side A & Side B
TRACKS: Baby Got To Have You, Awit Ng Puso, Come With Me, Without You, I Don't Wanna Lose You, Come Into My Life, Happy Valentine, Want To Get To Know You, A New Start, All Of My Life
