PLEASE READ: This is an original 1980s cassette of this album. It was manufactured using EMI Records' proprietary XDR (Expanded Dynamic Range) tape duplication system. As is fairly well known XDR cassettes made by EMI in the mid 80s almost all have a serious manufacturing fault that manifests itself in whirring and slowing of the cassette during playback. This cassette has been very carefully tested and is playable throughout without sticking or slowing. However there are sections of the cassette where some popping is audible during playback - mostly at the start of Side Two but also a little at the beginning of Side One and occasionally elsewhere. In most places the popping is tolerable to my ear - much like the static pops you hear on old vinyl records. At the start of Side Two it is more intrusive for the first few minutes. Overall the tape is still playable and in good cosmetic condition. Because of the fault with the audio it is sold as collectable item only, without guarantee and is priced accordingly. I will also not be accepting returns on this cassette.
