Scottish New Wave band, they did not achieve fantastic commercial success but some great songs none-the-less and the music has little surprises here and there too! At times I was reminded of very early Split Enz!

1979

Australian release

Cover is in good condition, no tears, no discolouration, no seam splits and no writing BUT you will notice the hole punch top right-hand corner//rear top left-hand corner - this is the mark of a 'deletion'. It means that the vinyl was returned to the distributor (could be for a number of reasons, it does NOT mean it is faulty) and so removed from sale (never to be sold retail again). I love 'deletions' because a lot of great music 'disappeared' in this way and little gems are often found, I would have to say this is one of those gems!

New inner plastic liner sleeve

Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can only see a couple of very light ~ light scratches on either side. I then played the album ENTIRELY on both sides and there are no signficant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops. If anything, it was a little dirtier down in those thar grooves as my styli kept bringing up dust when playing - I have cleaned this vinyl 2x and that has significantly improved things (MONK Vacuum machine)

New outer protective sleeve

TRACKS: The Shape Of Things To Come, Stepping Stones, My Favourite D.J, Kickin The Kans, Changing With The Times, Silver Lining, Experiments, Schoolgirls, Gonna Do It Like This, The Breakout, The Ripper, Take It All Down

'THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME' - A GREAT TRACK!

Minor success for the band but other tracks on this album are equally notable.
