The Bats - Compliletely Bats
Flying Nun Records
Cat# MC BAT 001
1987
New Zealand release
This is the original release from Flying Nun and NOT the reissue one year later
Clamshell is in very good condition, this is a clamshell with screws so it could be re-lubricated if this ever became necessary. Card insert is in good condition (not damaged) although it does have some light mildew spots.
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. 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, plenty of 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. Great sound great music - turn it up loud!
