Greek  RCA issues have manufacturer rights information in Greek and English on the front; noise reduction information on the inside cover and a duty band around the cassette box itself; the first part of the duty band shown translates roughly to the tape being a recording of the Greek phonographic federation and the seal shows it to be authentic and legal, and the seller and buyer will be prosecuted for selling tapes not so marked; and the second (signed) part of the band says that the tape is made in Greece and taxes have been paid on it. The spine shows IFPI the stamp of the International Federation of the Phonogrphic Industry of Greece.
