The tape is warn out in the Kayleigh solo as one should expect from any real fan of the album!! I have the vinyl and cd anyway so was bought for the nostalgia factor of "rewinding" to my childhood listening to my dads tapes rather than a high fidelity excursion. It was a very nice trip but also a reminder of why tape is dead except to enthusiasts. This is by no means a bad sounding cassette except for where its worn out but is definitely not the best example of what cassette can sound like
