Condition Report

Good Condition

The cassette tape itself is fully functional with no audible issues, warping or damage to the spools. The inlay card and back cover display general handling wear consistent with pre-owned stock—minor creasing, edge wear, and light fading to the printing, but all text and artwork remain legible and intact. The jewel case housing shows typical use: light scratches to the plastic shell and a small crack or flex mark visible in photos, but it remains secure and protective. The woven label on the cassette is clean and all information is readable.

Please examine the photo gallery closely to assess the condition for yourself—every angle and detail is shown clearly.

Why This Cassette?

Exclusive New Tracks

Two brand-new Enya recordings appear on this collection for the first time—not available on any of her studio albums, making this a must-have for serious collectors.

Career Retrospective

Spans her entire artistic journey, from early classics like The Celts to contemporary favourites, all mastered and sequenced for optimal listening flow.

Cassette Warmth

Physical media formats deliver a unique tonal character that streaming cannot replicate. Enya's layered vocals and orchestral production shine on cassette.

Original 2001 Release

A genuine early 2000s pressing with authentic WEA manufacturing—now over two decades old and sought-after by format enthusiasts and Enya devotees worldwide.

Collectors' Item

As physical media grows rarer, original cassette compilations from major artists become increasingly valuable to archive builders and nostalgia collectors.

Common Questions

Are the two new tracks original compositions by Enya? Yes. All tracks are composed, performed and arranged by Enya with lyrics by Roma Ryan. The two new recordings were created specifically for this Paint The Sky With Stars collection.
What is the tape made from and does it play well? It is a standard cassette format manufactured to WEA's quality standards in 2001. The tape is fully functional with no mould, breakage or audible degradation. It plays cleanly on any standard cassette player.
What condition should I expect? The listing condition is Good—the tape plays perfectly, but the inlay card and case show typical age and use marks. See the photo gallery for an honest assessment of all visible wear. You are buying a pre-owned, played cassette, not a sealed shop-stock item.
Is this the right version—original 2001 pressing? Yes. The catalogue number is 3984 20895 4 (WEA). This is the authentic original UK release. You can verify the label, case design and inlay artwork against official discography records.
Can I listen to it or is it just for display? Both! The cassette is fully playable and sounds beautiful through any standard deck. It is equally at home in a collection or ready to use, making it a rare find for active cassette listeners.
