There is some staining to the portion of the label that is on the end/spine. Pads have been replaced with brand new special-ordered high-quality 8 track pads. This tape sounded great in our player. All of our 8-track tapes have been tested but we are unable to listen to every track of every tape. Please refer to photos to see the condition of the label and cartridge. We do not replace the foil splices on our 8-track tapes. The biggest value in purchasing from us is our 30-day free returns guarantee (applicable to non-international purchases). Very few 8-track sellers offer returns. Please note that 8-track tapes are notoriously unreliable, and may not work in your player even after working in ours. Our guarantee is not that your tape may not have an issue, but that if it does, we will take care of you. We prefer that you message us first to give us the chance to make things right before opening a formal return through ebay. We timely consider reasonable offers. Check out our many other 8-track tapes for sale in our eBay store along with many other vintage categories. We will combine shipping for multiple purchases made on the same date.
