For sale is this very scarce vintage cassette of RICHARD & LINDA THOMPSON - I WANT TO SEE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TONIGHT on Island Records 1974. This beautiful and rare example is a genuine 1974 UK 1st Issue cassette. Indeed, as per discogs, this title was only issued once in any territory on cassette before the 80s when there was a lone reissue in the US on Joe Boyd's Hannibal label. (Although it is now recognised as a masterpiece this album was a commercial and critical failure on its initial release and was not issued outside the UK.) This version has the iconic Island Pink inlay and paper labels and this variant has a black tape shell with the DP stamp of the Data Packaging Corporation who supplied Island's early tape stock.

**AT THE TIME OF LISTING THIS APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY COPY OF THIS RARE CASSETTE FOR SALE ON eBay WORLDWIDE.**

Condition is very good: The case is VG+ with light wear. The inlay is VG+, very tidy with slight fading of the pink colouring, common to these Island tapes, especially at the spine. The cassette is graded VG+ with light signs of handling only and slight bubbling to the labels. This tape has been tested, carefully returned to the start and is working well. 


Please note: Cassettes of this age are extremely fragile. For this reason this tape is sold as a collectable item only and without guarantee.
