If you are really "into" your record collection, always look for/read the matrix codes in the run-out area. Not only do the codes assist in identifying the release version but some have strange little secret messages. Some people collect vinyl for nostalgic reasons, some for the analog sound and others just because there is a lot of great music that never went to other media formats and then there are some (I met one) who ONLY collect records for the secret messages in the matrix codes - pretty weird huh? I noticed a lot of early UK punk single releases had these secret messages (1980's UK releases)
This is one of those releases with a little message within the matrix code.

Australian release
Cover is in good condition, no tears, no writing, and the edges have very little wear from handling but there is some creasing both front and rear and a light partial vinyl ring is beginning to show.
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of light scratches/scuffs on each side. I then played the entire record - no issues with surface noise or clicks/pops.
New outer protective sleeve
