Tape degradation after 50+ years of age also presents a risk of tape snapping during playback. Do not attempt to play this cartridge without having it professionally serviced first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA used original \u003cstrong\u003eBlood, Sweat and Tears self-titled 8-track cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e, released on \u003cstrong\u003eCBS Records\u003c\/strong\u003e (catalogue number 42-63504), made in England, © 1968.
