The Mobile Fidelity titles are becoming more
difficult to obtain, so take the opportunity
to add this one to your collection.
STILL SEALED COPY OF THIS RARE CAT STEVENS RELEASE, TEA FOR THE TILLERMAN ON MOBILE FIDELITY CASSETTE. THIS COPY IS STILL IN ITS LONG BOX/BAG. THESE DO NOT COME AVAILABLE VERY OFTEN IN THIS HANGING TYPE OF BAG. MY UNDERSTANDING IS MFSL ONLY MADE SO MANY (HOW MANY?) IN THIS FORMAT BEFORE CHANGING TO THE VERSION OF JUST SEALING THE CASSETTE ITSELF WITHOUT THE BAG. THE RECORDING WAS TRANSFERRED IN A DIRECT 1:1 TRANSFER FROM THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPE ONTO A HIGH BIAS CHROMIUM TAPE AND THEN PLACED IN AN ULTRA PROTECTIVE CASSETTE SHELL.
THE CASSETTE IS HOUSED IN A WRAP AROUND TYPE OF COLORED CARDBOARD BOX WITH A WINDOW AND OPEN AT THE TOP (HEIGHT 6 1/4" BY WIDTH 4 1/4") INSIDE THE BAG. THE BOX IN THIS COPY HAS MAINTAINED ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE AND LOOKS GREAT. ALSO INCLUDED IN THE OUTER BAG IS A 9" IN LENGTH BACKING CARD SITTING BEHIND THE CASSETTE WITH A HOLE PUNCH IN THE TOP. IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF DISCOLORATION ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER BEING VIEWED FROM THE BACK. THIS RELEASE SHOULD ALSO HAVE A MOFI REPLY CARD AND A SMALL FOLDING MOFI BROCHURE ABOUT THEIR CASSETTE RELEASES INSIDE THE BAG.
THE OUTER PLASTIC BAG ITSELF IS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE WITH ONLY A SMALL 1/4" TEAR AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND A COUPLE OF NICKS ON THE FRONT. THERE IS ALSO A PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE ON THE BAG WHERE THE CASSETTE APPEARS IN THE WINDOW. HARD TO SEE BUT IT IS THERE WHEN VIEWED UP CLOSE. NO ADDITIONAL TEARS OR CUTS AND THE BAG IS NICE AND CLEAR MAKING IT EASY TO SEE THE CONTENTS INSIDE. PRESENTS REALLY WELL OVERALL AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY STORED SINCE IN MY POSSESSION.
A QUALITY
THIS IS A FACTORY SEALED OUT OF PRINT CASSETTE RELEASE. THE TAPE INSIDE CANNOT BE GUARANTEED TO BE FREE OF DEFECTS. ONCE THE ITEM IS OPENED IT IS NOT RETURNABLE AS ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION IS NOW COMPROMISED. DEPENDING ON THE VALUE AND/OR COLLECTABILITY OF THE CASSETTE, IF IT IS A TITLE YOU WANT TO PLAY IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER PURCHASING AN OPEN COPY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PLAY GRADED.
