Australian release
Clamshell is in very good condition, this is a screw-type clamshell so if ever you wanted to get inside to replace rollers/re-lube etc then there is no problem accessing inside, just be VERY careful otherwise you can end up with tape all over the room!
Clamshell is Gray.
Label is white with black text
Card insert is in very good condition
Case is in very good condition, clean and clear
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.
Guides/rollers and front pressure pad all look to be fine.
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.
All songs (on each side) play beautifully - no loss of high frequencies and no dropouts heard - a really great playback!
Tracks: Great Southern Land, Uniform, Street Cafe, Hey Little Girl, Glam, Trojan Blue, One By One, Break These Chains, Mysterious Thing, Goodnight Mr Matthews
