Never heard of Steve Cropper? Take a look HERE
STEVE CROPPER - Playin' My Thang
MCA Records
Cat# MCAC-5171 MCAC851
NOTE: the cassette shell catalogue number is printed as MCAC5171 which is actually the catalogue number for the vinyl album release however the printed insert spine has the catalogue number MCAC851 which is correct. This could have been the reason for the "deletion" mentioned below
1981
USA release
Cassette clamshell is in very good condition and the inner printed insert (one side printing only) has no writing, no creasing although there are some marks INSIDE the insert, where there is no printing. This looks to have been a store "deletion" product as a small hole had been drilled through the outer case (now changed) and through the inner insert - this usually denotes a deleted product.
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 light Grey plastic welded clamshell so if ever it was required to "get inside" to relube, etc then this is not a good idea! More often than not, when trying to open these clamshells they "self destruct" - best left alone.
Test machine: Nakamichi 480
I have then played this tape ENTIRELY both sides (NOT spot played!), crisp clean sound and no problems at all with no "drop outs" (on either side) or high frequency loss heard. Frequency response off the tape is wide, very nice album
TRACKS: Give 'Em What They Want, Let The Good Times Roll, Playin' My Thang, Fly, Sandy Beaches, With You, Feet, Why Do You Say You Love Me, Ya Da Ya Da
