ELVIS PRESLEY - Elvis Blue
Starcall Records (Record Label was owned by RCA)
Cat# SPK401
Australian release
1983
Dolby encoded
Blue cassette packaging is in good condition, some scuff marks to the clear front section but no cracking. Cover insert is in very good condition.
The giant wall poster is NOT INCLUDED, hung on the wall years ago and not in great shape!
Front cover/insert is clean and with no writing or markings.
Inspected the front pressure pad and side rollers, they are all fine. This is a metal screw clamshell so if something ever went awry with the tape inside e.g in need of relube or other maintenance, then you can easily "get inside" although be very careful when doing this otherwise you may have a room full of tape!
Test machine, my Nakamichi 480
Before playing, I have repacked the tape (complete FF & RW cycles a couple of times), and then played both sides ENTIRELY - there are no issues with the shell or tape at all, audio is full range with no "drop outs" or high frequency loss across both sides.
This is a really good playback! ... Blue themed nostalgia plus
As this recording is Dolby B encoded, if your playback machine does not have facilities for Dolby playback then it may useful to turn down the Treble response slightly on your amplifier.
