FUJI FR Metal - 1985 - US //

This is from a very underrated magnetic tape manufacturer, Fuji. When people think Fuji, they think cameras and film, not cassette, but when it comes to cassette quality from the shell to the cut smoothness of the tape pancake, and all its other parts... it is second to none! The total finished product stands up to Maxell, TDK, That's, Denon, Sony and BASF on a total equal footing.  

This metal can go toe to toe with TDK and Maxell metals, it sounds fantastic... but it comes at a price.

This vintage is regarded as one of the best Type IV ever. Quoted by "45spaces" as an "an Absolute Top Class" tape! I cannot agree more. This is simply a top notch, absolutely brilliant cassette, that sits at the top of the podium with the other top 5 manufacturers of the time.

NOTE: Super clean wrapper. Only one available. Rare. Added December 23, 2023. An absolute favourite here at CC.
