Congrats upsetter. It would be great if you could comment on how it sounds when you get a chance to listen to it.

Yeah, glad it was someone in here!

Let us know if you listen to it or discover anything else about it.

Of course! I'm looking into buying a reel to reel player once it arrives for a listen - I'll have a look at the condition of the tape first though! I'm presuming it'll be the original US mix but who knows? :)

Just had a look at Olivier's site and the original cassette also had Inverted sides:http://olivier.landemaine.free.fr/vu/di ... ettes.html
