Picked up a very mouldy, broken, dirty #cassette in #KualaLumpur: a collection of songs by Frances Yip, an absolute #cantopop legend.
Someone had been inside before, fixing a snapped-off leader tape by just connecting the magnetic tape directly to the reel. The card insert was bent and fox-eared and the jewel case cracked. Parts were covered in insect droppings.
Replaced the felt pad and rusty screws, spliced in a new leader, straightened the tape shell with heat, cleaned, steamed and pressed the card, replaced the case and slip mats, reglued the labels... the mould came off with a few plays and now it looks and sounds great. It has its battle scars but it's alive and kicking, ready for another 46 years.

Maxell-e-brate (1988) was a mix tape of holiday music released by Maxell as a promotional product for the holiday season. Its cover image was a new version of Maxell's famous "Blown Away Guy" advert wherein Santa Claus sits in a chair and has his hat blown back back the sound of a tape. Copies are still available on eBay and Discogs.
