1988
Australian release
Clam shell (clear) 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). Card insert is in very good condition.
Test cassette machine: Nakamichi DR8
Prior to testing, tape was repacked (FF - RW then 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 and bright, full high end and lows. Sounds great. No drop outs. No tape sticking or other transport issues which could indicate dried out lubricant. Head pad is in place and secure.
Tracks: Simply Irresistible, More Than Ever, Change His Ways, Disturbing Behavior, Early In The Morning, It Could Happen To You, She Makes My Day, Between Us, Casting A Spell, Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming
