I'm actually pretty impressed by how good Betas sound - especially the older cassettes as they used stronger components and better formulations in the early days of the format.
It's usually the HiFi tracks that are the first thing to degrade over time, but the older tapes with only linear audio tend to hold up pretty well with age.
That being said, I haven't played either of my copies of Excalibur yet. I have no idea what shape they're in. I'm hoping between the two tapes to be able to cobble together a clean mono audio track though.
