PROVENANCE AND HISTORY:  This is “new old stock”.  It came from a record shop that closed ~25 years ago.  But they have been stored properly.  I’ve sold nearly 1,000 tapes from the collection.  And there have been no technical problems.  To the contrary, some buyers have returned many times to purchase additional items from the collection.   

TECHNICAL NOTE ON HOW TO USE:  These are vintage cassette tapes.  They have never been played.  If you plan to listen to them, there are some steps you need to consider.  As  they have never been played, it is a good idea to first fast forward them and then rewind them several times. This will provide the correct tension so that they play at the correct speed; otherwise, they likely will sound distorted.  As a general rule, the older players sound significantly better than the new ones.
