WHAM! - Fantastic
Innervision/CBS Records
Cat# ELPS 4363
1983
Australian release
Cover is in good condition, tear to the opening edge (front) which has been stabilised. Inner printed sleeve has been cut back to two sheets (front/back) due to damage but retained because of the great photographs and lyric sheet.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl record is in good - very good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see a number of scuff marks and light to medium scratches. I then played, both sides and below is an account of each track.
Side A:
Track 1: Surface noise is audible, especially at the beginning but no mistracking - still listenable.
Track 2: Much lower level surface noise
Track 3: Much lower level surface noise
Track 4: Much lower level surface noise
Side B:
Track 1: Surface noise is audible, especially at the beginning due to the very low level intro - but once the song gets "going" it is a good listen
Track 2: Much lower level surface noise but audible
Track 3: Much lower level surface noise
Track 4: Much lower level surface noise
The album overall is a great play but some surface noise from time to time.
New outer protective sleeve
Tracks: Bad Boys, A Ray Of Sunshine, Love Machine, Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do?), Club Tropicana, Nothing Looks The Same In The Light, Come On!, Young Guns (Go For It!)
