This is one of my treasured vinyls from when I grew up in New Zealand
I LOVE music, all music but its now time to find a new home for these records.
I am hoping this vinyl will find it's way to someone who also appreciates great (or quirky) New Zealand originated music.
This vinyl was last played about 30 years ago (until today) and then put away, bought over to Australia and then put away in safe/dry storage once again (upright)
My background is technical, particularly relating to the professional music/audio industry and because of this I give a LOT of detail about what I am offering.
Prior to advertising this vinyl, it has had a standard wet wash & vacuum and dry.
The vinyl is first visually inspected and then played ENTIRELY. None of this "played the first 30 seconds" stuff, what good is that!
Visual inspections can be deceptive, the only real way to judge a record is to actually play the whole record entirely (unless still sealed of course)

Cover is in very good condition, includes the printed inner sleeve. Clean with just the slightest of handling wear to the edges. Someone has used the album cover underneath when writing so in the "right" light you can see some "impressions" in the cardboard. These are extremely light and many people wouldn't even notice it. The rear has a slight rubbing to the top central area but not serious.
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see a few very light to light scuffs/scratches on Side A, less on Side B but with one quite long light scratch - nice clean vinyl though! I then played both sides completely and had NO issues with surface noise at all - the very occasional very low level click/pop more frequent on Side 2 but overall, nothing significant. Great album!
New outer protective plastic sleeve
