BULLSEYE! - 18 Hits (Various Artists Compilation)
Polystar Records
Cat# 7298 148
1979
Australian release
White clam shell with paper labels is in very good condition and not cracked. This is a plastic welded clam shell so if ever you felt the need to get "inside" to lubricate or whatever, DON'T! In the attempt to open up the clamshell it is most likely you will destroy it completely!
The cassette insert cover is also in very good condition.
What really matters is the music!
SPECIAL NOTES:
Cassette tape is a delicate beast! Make absolutely sure your own machine is in top condition to enjoy the tapes you wish to play! If you have "warbling, failure to FF or RW or the worst yet - the tape snaps due to excessive tension, GET YOUR MACHINE SERVICED! If you run a sub-standard machine you will get sub-standard music or worst still, destroy every tape you insert in the door!
Time is the enemy of tape machines (R2R and Cassette) as they extensively use rubber components which stretch or even "melt" creating a big headache inside the machine.

MY CURRENT TEST CASSETTE MACHINE: Nakamichi DR8
Prior to testing, the tape was repacked (FF - RW - FF - RW cycling) to ensure even tape loading in the cassette. This is a vital process for cassette tapes that have been unplayed for considerable periods of time.
Tape media is in very good visual condition, but the only real way to judge the condition of magnetic tape media is to actually play it, the ENTIRE length of the tape in both directions, so I have played both sides of this tape. No tell-tale squeeks (lubrication is failing) and nice smooth movement through the tape transport.
Audio is full range with good high end and lows. No drop outs heard. No tape sticking or other transport issues which could indicate dried out lubricant. Head pad is in place and secure.
Nice playback of this popular pop rock music from the late 1970's
