Originally purchased in NZ BUT I suspect this was an Australian pressing

1977
Australia/New Zealand ORIGINAL release
This is definitely not the repress, based on the record label layout and the matrix codes.
Rear of cover states printed in USA
Sticker on the rear is that of a well known NZ record retailer (back in the 1970's anyway)
Cover is in good condition, very clean front and back, no tears, no writing on the outside of the cover, no significant handling wear to the edges.
Spine is showing signs of wear, small seam split is forming in the central spine area but no hole yet!
Rear of the cover shows some light scuff marks from record shelving insertion/removal
The previous owner has hand written their details in these areas:
INSIDE the cover (out of view)
Record label Side 1
The name has been obscured for privacy
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl media is in good - very good condition, inspected visually and both sides have a couple of light scratches only. I then played the entire album - what a great play! Just some very low level surface noise at times, the odd click/pop but none are significant. Very good listen, particularly Side 2 which is my personal favourite with songs such as White Light/White Heat.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
Tracks: Satellite Of Love, Wild Child, I Love You, How Do You Think It Feels, New York Telephone Conversation, Walk On The Wild Side, Sweet Jane, White Light/White Heat - live performance, Sally Can't Dance, Nowhere At All, Coney Island Baby
