Neil Diamond - Hot August Night
MCA Records
Cat# MAPS 6385
1973 release of the 1972 original
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 "rainbow" style record label and with slightly different text layout than the original Australian 1972 release.
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 couple of 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 - nice play
