1990's release (The exact year of this release is unknown but the local distributors phone number is the old "pre 9" numbering which suggests this vinyl dates prior to 1998, probably sometime between 1994 and 1998.
Swedish release (Australian distribution copy though)
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no writing, no edge wear from handling - like new.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can only see a couple of very light scratches on each side. I then played the ENTIRE release and there are no issues with surface noise or click/pops - great sound!
New outer protective sleeve
