This is a rip of the 1991 European chromium dioxide cassette tape (510-022-4, Holland).
The tape was in quite a good condition, though there are a few milliseconds long single-channel dropouts.
Main motivation to put this out was the tonality of this recording. It's preferable to the thin and harsh sounding digital releases.
