Sony UCX-S - 1985 - US
An early 80s Sony Type II. Very attractive foil wrapper and old school solid shell, which is a classic design.
Doesn't need much bias tweaking, will get the most out of most decks. Has great bass response for a Type II. In fact, this is a truly fantastic cassette, the tape is very brown for a Type 2, which could account for it's great bass response.
Note: One of these tapes was meant specifically for the German market. One single tape available.
Note: These may or may not have the Canadian Maple leaf on them. Please ask before ordering. Thank you.

This line fostered a fundamental change in music listening habits by allowing people to carry music with them and listen to music through lightweight headphones. Walkman originally referred to portable audio cassette players. The company now uses the Walkman brand to market its portable audio and video players as well as a line of former Sony Ericsson mobile phones.
