Taylor Swift – Reputation

This edition differs from the US version in sole subtle ways. The cassette shell has a clear sticker with the text reproduced in the exact same typescript as the American version. The US version had the text printed directly on the shell but both editions look identical. I actually prefer this because cassettes with text printed on the shell easily comes off.
The main thing is that this sounds quite good. Other reviewers have pointed out that the inlay print quality varies in different parts, and that is the case. It is worth ing when this cassette was made, the “cassette revival” was not really a thing and cassette editions were released as a novelty and possibly as a collectible item. At that time, many cassettes came out which didn’t even sound very good because they were made pretty cheaply. Compared to the Ariana Grande albums that were officially released, the Taylor Swift ones sound way better. This edition of Reputation deserves to be reissued.
This cassette was sold at Urban Outfitters in the Uk and was a limited edition of only 2000 copies. Many people who bought them ended up selling them on eBay for a meagre profit in the months that followed, but now it is worth way more than they sold them for at the time.

The sound on this is amazing when played through a really good system, you get a different kind of sound compared to the streaming and cd version. I don't think many people play it though, think most collect it as a rare Swift item. The printing on the cover could of been better though as parts of it are really nice and others it could of been a lot better.

I'm quite sceptical about this release. I received my copy from Amazon and the insert is decidedly low-res and even the printing layout markers are visible. Also, the info on the cassette itself is a transparent sticker rather than printed directly onto the casing. Seem like a bootleg to me. Can anyone else confirm?
