Steptoe1
(1979 items)
Hello I’ve listened to this a few times, so I know it plays well still. Sounds great , I am not sure if it’s original but it looks like it to me. I’m actually quite shocked that it actually sounds perfect

Steptoe1, It looks genuine enough to me, although I could only find the Swedish version of the Parlophone cassette at discogs:

Here's the barcode lookup:

Of course, barcodes didn't come into general use until the 1970s:

Here's Lennon doing Dylan:

Just a note..clear cassette tapes came out in the 80s
Thanks kerra & dav for helping with information, never seen that video kerra , I love that track
dav2no1, Good catch. :-)
Steptoe1, You're welcome. :-)
That video is straight out of the movie "Help!"
Here's the entire movie at Mr. Peabody's Wayback machine (the song in question starts at around the 27:24 mark):

That guy with the manhole cover on his head is actor Leo McKern, possibly best known as "Rumpole of the Bailey."
The other notable performer (for me, anyway) is Eleanor Bron, possibly best known for her role in the original 1967 version of "Bedazzled."
Curiously, one song that doesn't appear on the soundtrack but is heard in the movie is "She's a Woman." Maybe that's because the Beatles don't perform it in the movie per se, but it's heard on a recording in a cave.
I can't be bothered to hunt it down in the movies right now, so I'll just give ya a video of the Beatles performing it:

Thanks kera great information and brilliant video of them performing, I don’t know that track by what a band they was, give me goosebumps whenever I see them play, such a great sound and a happy bunch of lads
Steptoe1, You're welcome. :-)
It's been awhile since I've seen "Help!," so my memory was a bit fuzzy. The scene where "She's a Woman" is heard takes place in a tunnel. Eleanor Bron's character is tricking Leo McKern's character.
Starting at around the 50:45 mark:
