1993 Reissue

Clear cassette packaging is in good condition, some scuff marks from handling but nothing excessive. Rear 9 panel inlay with lyrics, track listing etc is supplied BUT .... the front cover insert is missing in action! This is what I refer to as a NUDE copy, some of the packaging is missing, in this case the front insert.

The music is great (nice copy) and makes for a good analog listening copy OR use your own existing copy which may have good inserts but the tapes are missing or damaged in some way.

Inspected the front pressure pad and side rollers, they are all fine. These are plastic welded clamshells so if something ever went awry with the tape inside e.g in need of relube or other maintenance, then you will not be able to get "inside" the clamshells, most likely you would end up destroying the tapes!

Test machine, my Nakamichi 480

Before playing, I have repacked the tapes (complete FF & RW cycles a couple of times), and then played both sides ENTIRELY of both tapes - there are no issues with the shells or tapes at all, audio is full range with no "drop outs"

This is a really nice analog playback of these golden oldie tracks from the Fab 4 back in the 1960's
