Cassette packaging is in very good condition and only light handling marks to the cassette case. Clean insert and there is no personal writing on the insert and the labelling is directly pad printed onto the cassette clamshell. Although not shown in the photograph, the insert unfolds to reveal a photograph of the band and all song lyrics.
Before playing I repacked the tape, and visually inspected carefully the clamshell, rollers and head pressure pad - no issues with the shell or tape at all
This is a clear screw down type of clamshell so if ever it was required to "get inside" to relube, etc then this is not going to be difficult at all, just be extra careful doing so otherwise you may end up with tape all over the place!
I have then played this tape ENTIRELY on both sides, and the audio is crisp & clean and no problems at all with no "drop outs" (on either side) or high frequency loss heard. Frequency response off the tape is wide and I also listened carefully for "tape hiss" at the start of tape, end of tape and between tracks and the level is very very low, indicating that the tape has seen very low playtime in the past. No issues with uneven tape travel through the transport.
