VOICE OF THE BEEHIVE - Honey Lingers
London Records
Cat# 828259.4
Dolby Encoded
1991
Australian release
Standard cassette case is in good condition, meaning there are no cracks or pieces missing but there are some light scuff marks to the front and rear. Internal cover/rear are both clean and have no personal writing. Direct to clamshell pad printing is clean and unworn.
Before playing I repacked the tape, and carefully visually inspected the clamshell, rollers and head pressure pad - no issues with the shell or tape at all BUT ...
I can see that sometime in the past a staff member did "lube" this cassette, I guess because it had transport issues and as this is a plastic welded type clamshell (which are next to impossible to get "inside" without total destruction!) they have squirted a spray we used to have on hand for these situations, a teflon based lubricant. Usually this worked well but it leaves a Whitish residue behind and you can see this inside the clamshell.
The audio is clean and sounds "ok" although I had the impression that the highs were a little lacking, it's sometimes difficult to tell at my age! There were no problems heard at all with "drop outs" and the program material has been played on both Side A & Side B (repeated)
TRACKS: Monsters And Angels, Adonis Blue, I Think I Love You, Look At Me, Beauty To My Eyes, Just Like You, Little Gods, I'm Shooting Cupid, Say It, Perfect Place
