Ok, so perhaps the children won't listen to a vinyl record these days (although I know some still do!) this album has Australian broadcasting nostalgic interest. Monochrome photographs of some presenters such as Benita, Noni, John, Barbara etc
In the days this vinyl was released there was no streaming, no mp3's, no smartphones and CD's had only just began to appear in the consumer market - vinyl records, listening to the radio and watching ABC (in particular) were the way to get your children's entertainment.

Australian release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, barely any edge wear, clean, no writing, no tears. Inside the gatefold are photographs of the original presenters from both Play School and the radio program Kindergarten.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl record is in good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a few very light - light - medium scratches on each side. I then played the ENTIRE album on both sides, the surface noise is slightly elevated more than "normal" and there are a few low level clicks/pops WITH THESE MISTRACKS NOTED:
Old MacDonald (Had A Farm) (medium clicks then a very short mistrack afterwhich it continues playing without further issues)
This is the ONLY mistrack
Overall though, a VERY listenable, nice play.
