John Waite - No Brakes

Cat# TC-ST-240184
1984
Australia/NZ release
Clear clam shell is in very good condition, this is a screwed clam shell so if ever there was a need to re-lubricate or change the pad, it is possible (if somewhat fiddly).
Test cassette machine: Nakamichi DR8
Prior to testing, tape was repacked (FF - RW - FF - RW) to ensure even tape loading. This is vital for cassette tapes that have been unplayed for considerable periods of time.
Tape media is in very good visual condition, but the only real way to judge the condition of magnetic tape media is to actually play it, so I have played both sides of this tape.
Audio is full range with good high end and lows. No drop outs. No tape sticking or other transport issues which could indicate dried out lubricant. Head pad is in place and secure.
Very nice playback
Tracks: Saturday Night, Missing You, Dark Side Of The Sun, Restless Heart, Tears, Euroshima, Dreamtime/Shake It Up, For Your Love, Love Collision
