THE COLOURFIELD - Deception
Chrysalis Records
Cat# ZCDL 1546
UK release
1987
Cassette packaging is in very good condition, no substantial marks or scratching at all and definitely no cracks or missing parts! Clean insert, monochrome printed.
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 Black plastic welded type clamshell so if ever it was required to "get inside" to relube, etc then the best of luck because getting this type of clamshell is extremely difficult and usually you will end up destroying the tape.
I have then played this tape entirely, 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 and I also listened carefully for "tape hiss" at the start of tape, end of tape and between tracks and the level is very very low, indicating that the tape has seen very little play time.
TRACKS: Badlands, Running Away, From Dawn To Distraction, Confession, Miss Texas 1967, She, Heart Of America, Digging It Deep, Monkey In Winter, Goodbye Sun Valley
