FUNKY DISCO - Various Artists (Compilation)

K-Tel Records

Cat# NA498

STEREO

1977

Australian release

Cover is in good condition, no tears, no seam splits with only light edge wear from handling but there had been some writing on the rear cover, now obscured with "White Out: (near the top edge/centre area) and a numeral within a circle (in Pink) remains visible.

New inner plastic liner sleeve

Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see just a couple of very light scratches on either side. While the surface "looks" very good, just looking at the vinyl isn't a good way to judge the condition, so let's have a listen ... Yes, there is an issue.

I have played the ENTIRE release, both sides, and there is one issue of note. Side A track 2 (Car Wash) there is a short/quite noticeable mis-track about 10 seconds into the song. I made a very detailed examination of the vinyl and although difficult to find, I can see a very small short scratch that runs in line with the groove - no amount of cleaning will fix this. So track 2 on Side A is a bit "how's ya father"

The remaining tracks on Side A and all tracks on Side B have no issues with surface noise nor clicks/pops - good solid play of these late 70's classic disco tracks.
