How good are these matches?

[Guest liberal]

I am a newcomer to puro but watched Super J cup 94 (i know that this is a particularly good tape). I saw these three tapes for sale on a website for a combined fee of £10 and bought them on impulse. Could any of you guide me as to how well / badly I have spent my money.

Dude, the first tape is GOLD!

 

The 2nd and 3rd tapes are OK. Worth the money, but not MEGA-SPECTACULAR like the first tape.

I've seen all the matches on the 1st and 2nd tapes. The 1st tape is phenomenal (3 ***** matches).

 

The 2nd tape is overrated, but it's still good. I really wouldn't recommend it if you're new to AJ though, because it takes place during their dying (headdropping) days.

 

I haven't seen any of the matches on the 3rd tape, but I do love Momoe Nakanishi, except that one hour match isn't one of her best from what I hear.
