Fantastic upbeat Italo dance music!!!
The album "opens" with the very very danceable Ride On Time (remix) from Black Box and the pace never stops until the last track on Side B

Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see a few light scratches/scuff marks. I then played both sides of the album ENTIRELY and at times I can hear a slightly elevated level of surface noise (but not excessive - details are below) overall there are no significant issues with surface noise and just the occasional low level click or pop - great "get up and dance" play!
Side A - an elevated level of surface noise across the first couple of tracks but this is largely "buried" by Black Box and Gino Latino's fantastic beats! The last track has the highest level of surface noise, not terrible but more noticeable than any other track
Side B - immediately I noticed a slight warp in the vinyl, albeit a gentle wave!!! For the most part this does not create any issues although the first track (D.F.C Team - I.C Love Affair), just after the intro of the song there is a very short quick mistrack. I gave this track a repeated of the vacuum cleaning but the mistrack remained. I suspect a further cleaning (intense) may sort this out as it does not appear to be "scratch based" - there is just one jump and nothing more on this track.
Track 3 ends very abruptly, I can't decide if this is a media issue or production problem. No fade out, it just stops dead (with a medium clunk sound although the tonearm does not move at all) and then smoothly goes into the inter-track space then up comes the next song, the VERY good "Interplanetary Adventures"
