Very rare release from the Mentals, Mr Natural (and 3 additional songs) on cassette
Nice analog sound with identical track listing to the CD release
MENTAL AS ANYTHING - Mr Natural
Ariola Records
Cat# 74321267244
Australian release
1995
Cardboard slip is in great condition (front and spine) BUT the rear section is missing! So sad, but it's all about the music, right?
Inspected the front pressure pad and side rollers, they are all fine. This is a "faux" screw fixed shell so if something ever went awry with the tape inside e.g in need of relube or other maintenance, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to get the screws undone, they are not "real" and a devil to try and remove. Best leave the clamshell alone or you may end up destroying the 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 all songs/both sides.
Identical program material on each side of the cassette
TRACKS: Mr Natural, Partyline, Death Rattle, Pelican
