Cassette packaging is in good condition, this means the outer case is not cracked although it does have some light scuff marks. The inner card sleeve I am 90% sure whether it is complete.
Normally these sleeves wrap around the cassette but this card sleeve is only a half i.e the front and the spine. Normally you would have thought there would be a rear with a track listing and some credits but not in this case. I could only find one photograph online showing this packaging and it is also a "half cover" anyway, I am offering EXACTLY as in the photograph - like a half card sleeve.
This Clear cassette clam-shell is fortunately a screw type which means that if ever the user wishes to get "inside" the shell (for future lubrication, changing rollers etc) this is perfectly feasible although you need to be EXTREMELY careful when dismantling a cassette clamshell otherwise you can end up being buried in tape!
Before playing, I have repacked the tape, and played both sides entirely - no issues with the shell or tape transport at all, no "drop outs", full audio highs & lows - very nice playback on every track.
Tape media is physically very good, the head pad is secure and tape transport is smooth and without strange noises which might indicate poor lubrication (squeaks etc)
