I bought this Compact Cassette new at a retailer in the mid to late 1990's, probably 1997-ish as that is when it came out. It's one of the best sounding Cassette tapes I have in my (now-days) somewhat limited remaining collection. Excellent sound quality on a decent Cassette player with Dolby B Noise Reduction, while it appears to be a Type I tape, it sounds as good-as, or better than some Type II tapes I have in my collection. I suspect this is a Digalog recording even though it is not designated as such on the packaging, its' sound quality is near CD quality IMO. It's a fantastic Cassette for listening to the original version of Sweet Surrender, but I'm not the biggest fan of the re-mixes.
