Australian release
Gatefold cover is in good condition, clean, no seam splits, no personal writing and only light edgewear from normal handling. However it must be said, a bit "dirty" to look at! The cardboard used looks to possibly be recycled and perhaps front/inside look to be bleached but the rear is plain card. This cardboard is not very resistant to constant handling and absorbed skin oils etc over the years ... it is not terrible but it is noticeable.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches/marks on either side. Just visually inspecting vinyl is not good enough to make a judgement on the vinyl condition so I then played this album ENTIRELY, all tracks, and there are NO issues with surface noise or click/pops
New outer protective sleeve
TRACKS: Shores Of Botany Bay, The Woolloomooloo Lair, Clancy Of The Overflow, The Overlanders, And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, Theme From Ben Hall, One Of The Has Beens, Jog-Along Till Shearing, The New Broom
