Once upon a time, when a large number of households had a record player, it is said that 1 in 3 households had at least one Neil Diamond record. He was an extremely successful artist in the 1970's, particularly his live performances.
NEIL DIAMOND - Hot August Night
MCA Records
Cat# MAPS 6385
1972 ()
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no tears, no writing, no seam splits and very light edge wear from handling although I can see some light rubbing marks to the front - not serious though. This is the release with the "hex shaped multi-coloured" style record label and it was the first release into Australia.
New inner plastic sleeve
Both vinyl are in very good condition, both have been visually examined carefully using a halogen light source I can see a few very light scratches on each record only. Just looking at the vinyl just doesn't cut it so I then played the ENTIRE album, both records and every single track, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or click/pops - sure, there is the occasional low level click or pop but nothing that seriously detracts from Neil's performance. This is a nice play
