UK/Europe release
1994
Cassette clamshell is in very good condition and the inner 12 panel printed insert has no writing, no marks and is not creased.
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 clear plastic welded type clamshell so if ever it was required to "get inside" to relube, etc then the best of luck because getting this type of clamshell is extremely difficult and usually you will end up destroying the tape.
I have then played this tape entirely, 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 playback.
