Since I was never a commodor fan I had to look this up myself.
The c64/128 stands for commodor 64 or 128 bit. I knew that much.
I never had the ability to record on VCRs. And why would anyone record on top of anything they wanted to keep?
Yes I had hundreds if not thousands of floppy disks.

The extra clear tape on a C64/128 cassette tape is typically used to protect the magnetic tape inside and to ensure that the tape can be rewound and played without damage. This helps maintain the quality of the data stored on the tape.

@DeWayfarer I think they're referring to the leader tape, typically at the beginning and end of audio and video cassettes. And it's way too easy to accidentally blast over something unintentionally. In the case of open-reel formats, there's no way to protect the tape, so some machines have a "rec lock" button or some such to make someone at least stop and think before hitting "record".

@uncalled4 the clear tape as mentioned below is to prevent recording over the tape which due to light sensitivity could be easily damaged.
If you look up just:
"C64/128"
you can see that this particular tape was for a commodore 64 or 128.
The clear type however was on some VCR cassette tapes.
I could never record though on my VCR machines. So it didn't matter if that clear tape was on it or not.
Just be certain to fully rewind the VCR tape and no damage would happen.
