Label: K-Tel International (USA), Inc.

Catalog Number: 6180-4

Release Year: 1995

Condition Report:
This cassette is a vintage original pressing preserved in its outer poly-wrap. Please read carefully: This specific unit is a documented distributor "cut-out." There is a deep, intentional diagonal slash scoring directly through the back barcode (a standard 1990s industry practice to mark discount or promotional inventory as non-returnable). The exterior shrink-wrap also exhibits significant cosmetic wear, surface scuffing, and sloppy edge bunching. Because of the cut-out damage and compilation format, this item is not recommended for third-party grading submission; it is priced and sold strictly as an entry-level listening artifact.

Archival Dispatch:
Item is packaged inside a crush-proof archival box and dispatched via USPS Priority Mail with comprehensive end-to-end tracking. Sold as a raw, ungraded vintage artifact.
