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 excellent condition. Shiny front and rear with no marks or writing. No side/seam damage is apparent at all. No seam damage, no tears no splits and no writing. Includes the printed inner sleeve but this does have a small tear at the top due to careless removal of the sleeve from the jacket
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good - excellent condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see NO "real" scratches or marks on either side BUT I can see a number of very wispy lines which look like the record has been cleaned in the past a bit too vigorously. These lines are extremely faint. Absolutely no issues with surface noise and a very nice play
New outer protective plastic sleeve
Tracks: Heavenly Pop Hit, Tied Up In Chain, The Oncoming Day, Part Past Part Fiction, Singing In My Sleep, I SOAR, Dead Web, Familiarity Breeds Contempt, Don't Be - Memory, Effloresce And Deliquesee, Sweet Times, Submarine Bells
