VCI HIFI - Canada (Made for Zellers)

Made in China for Zellers Stores, Canada circa 1996.

Zellers was a Canadian Department Store chain bought by American giant, Target Stores. Target took over most Zellers Stores' Leases in January 13, 2011. Unfortunately this venture only lasted until January 15, 2015, as the company was not able to stay afloat. The reason? "Target Canada's empty shelves didn't help its venture. It failed to create an adequate distribution system, which prompted customers to complain online about low inventory." From Google.

These are type I tapes.

Some nostalgic value is attributed to these tapes and they totally remind us of the 1992 JVC GI tape which is known to be a very decent type I performer.
