DIRE STRAITS - Money For Nothing (Compilation)
Vertigo Records
Cat# 836 419-4
1982
Australian release
Cassette clamshell is in very good condition and the inner printed insert has no writing, no creasing, no marks and very clean.
Before playing I repacked the tape, and visually inspected carefully the clamshell, rollers and head pressure pad - no issues with the shell or tape at all
This is a White plastic metal screw clamshell so if ever it was required to "get inside" to relube, etc then this is entirely feasible although be warned, if not careful you will end up with the room full of tape!
Test machine: Nakamichi 480
I have then played this tape ENTIRELY both sides (NOT spot played!), crisp clean sound and no problems at all with no "drop outs" (on either side) or high frequency loss heard. Frequency response off the tape is wide, very nice "step back in time" with Dire Straits
