Offered only because of the NZ music history behind this band - the vinyl is in GOOD MINUS/POOR condition!!!
I have cleaned the vinyl and then critically listened to each track, my comments are below.
Tracks:
Mood One/Time To Kill - constant light to medium level surface noise throughout this track due to light scratching
Lisa Listen To Me - constant light to medium level surface noise throughout this track due to light scratching/scuff marks, a little less than track 1
Dip Tank - again, that constant light to medium level surface noise during this mainly instrumental track. Flute playing reminds me of Jethro Tull
The Ballad Of Jacques La Mere - constant, but low level surface noise. Very "commercial" sounding country rock song.
Headband Grooving - surface noise is much reduced on this track, very low to low level - upbeat country blues rock
End of side one - overall a pretty good play, surface noise is noticeable in the first tracks but gradually diminishes as we head towards the run out.
Good Morning Mr Rock N Roll - again, constant low level surface noise but not too distracting to the ear. Top song - sweet! Funky lead guitar, piano and flute.
Love Is Bigger Than The Whole Wide World - another track with constant low level surface noise, lower level than the first track but constant.
Mood Two/The Laws Must Change - very long track, surface noise tends to increase towards the middle and then drop off towards the run out. In the middle I heard a couple of "thump thump" noises but it did NOT mistrack. Very psychedelic rock this track, it would have been played A LOT back in the 70's - love the psych guitar playing and then the harmonica bursts onto the scene! Unreal.
