Although we attempt to check the quality of all our tapes, accidents may
happen. If you receive a defective or inaudible tape, or are otherwise
unsatisfied for any reason, please keep it and let us know by mail or phone. We
will promptly send you another tape, or refund the purchase price (including
postage). Please note that although we use “recycled” shells, all cassette tape
loaded in the shells is first quality new tape. Tapes marked n/c are not currently in circulation,
generally because the Masters are lost or defective. Generally, five new tapes
are added to our collection every week. This catalog reflects the collection as
