The problem is with the disk images. All the cassettes work fine.

Found some hopefully useful info about the disk image from user "obo" at a ZX Spectrum Discord server:
"Golden Axe has some regular 8K sectors with the deleted data address mark. Could be either the 8K sector handling (data padding needed) or deleted data address mark mismatch again."
