THIS VINYL HAS A SMALL ISSUE - PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW!
John Williamson - Mallee Boy
Gum Leaf - Festival Records
Cat# RML53221
1986
Australian release
Cover is in excellent condition, includes the inner printed sleeve
New plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, inspected under a bright white halogen light source and the first thing I noticed is that the surface has a plastic leeching pattern on both sides. This commonly occurs when some types of inner sleeves are used, over time they leech plastiser into the vinyl record. I then played the album ENTIRELY, every track, and this leeching does not affect the sound quality but I did find a tiny scratch on Side B track 3 (I'm In The Mood) - right at the intro it mistracks a couple of times (but carries on with the song after this glitch) - the scratch is so small that I had to look with a microscope but there you have it, it does cause a small mistrack.
All other tracks played fine with no surface noise issues or click/pops of any significance.
New plastic outer protective sleeve
