K7 audio cassette Jules and the Polar Bears Fanetiks CBS vintage 80s rare

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a vintage audio cassette (K7) by the band "Jules and the Polar Bears", titled "Fanetiks", as shown in the photo. The front cover features a color image showing four band members standing on a yellow ground, in front of a blue and green background. The characters are dressed in a style characteristic of the late 70s or early 80s, which is consistent with the American pop-rock aesthetic of that period. One of the members is barefoot, adding a casual touch to the visual composition.

The top of the cover displays the band's name in handwritten lowercase "jules and the polar bears", followed just below by the album title "fanetiks". In the bottom left, the CBS logo is clearly visible, attesting to the original label. In the bottom right is the "Dolby System" logo, indicating that the cassette benefits from Dolby audio processing for noise reduction, a standard for quality editions at that time.

The cassette, in its transparent plastic case, reveals an original cover, without any apparent modification or addition. No major defects appear on the visible side: the cover shows minimal wear compatible with its age, without tearing or obvious soiling. The plastic case shows some signs of use (light micro-scratches), common on this type of vintage media.

The overall presentation remains faithful to CBS editions from the late 70s and early 80s, with a clean layout and vibrant color artist photography. The item is strictly described based on the visible front side; no details of the back or inside of the cassette are provided here.

This type of cassette, now sought after for analog listening or as musical decoration, testifies to an era when the audio cassette was the reference medium for portable listening and the dissemination of international pop-rock music.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows a clean and legible cover, plastic case with superficial signs of use but no apparent breakage.
