I wonder what Warner Bros intended to do with this Cartier 15/6/90 recording? Maybe a reference copy. I've never seen another before, marked 'In House Studio / From Cassette' on the inlay.

Wow...the eBay auction says it's a promo, but I don't see that. Maybe sort of a "test pressing" for a future release - maybe in a compilation? Who knows?!

I've often looked at the VU & Nico black sticker than was placed on the back of the sleeve to hide the torso and wondered whether anyone ever completely removed it in a Beatles Butcher sleeve style. I've seen alot of copies where long ago someone has peeled the edges and removed small areas but I think this is the first I can recall where its been completely removed - not entirely successfully but shows it is possible.
That shows some dedication! I'm guessing a blow-dryer was used.
I'd want to try lighter fuel. But would I risk it?

Can't remember the last time one of these came up, as reflected in the final price. I wonder whether the tape is OK to play?

wow! I wouldn't play it. If it plays, the tape will disintegrate all inside the player! NO! trust me. 8-)

I was surprised when I saw the price that was paid for that crappy tape... I bought in October 2018 a sealed copy Buy-it-Now at Ebay for $349.95
