WARRANT - Cherry Pie (Single)
CBS Records
Cat# 656258 4
Australian release
1990
Cassette packaging is in good condition but does require special mention.
The cassette case is a special archival type that we used in the studios years ago for 4 track work (remember them? EVERYONE in the music industry used 4 track tape years ago). It is not hinged but instead the cassette clamshell slides into the case and is locked in place by two plastic "fingers" - when inserted there is no chance of the cassette falling back out! The case is also much thicker than "standard" cassette cases designed for domestic/consumer use.
There is a name printed on the front cover, not too heavy printing but clearly visible (top edge, centre area)
I also noticed that the paper insert is MISSING the rear section (track listing/barcode etc) so the insert is only the front and spine paper printing - no rear!
Inspected the front pressure pad and side rollers, they are all fine. This is a metal screw fixed shell so if something ever went awry with the tape inside e.g in need of relube or other maintenance, it is possible to get "inside" the clamshell but be very careful otherwise you may end up with 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 songs/both sides.
