New Zealand release
Cover is in very good condition, light edge handling wear only. If I was to be super-critical, very light "scuff" marks to the shine on the front cover but not of major concern. No tears, no writing on the outside cover. Original inner printed sleeve is supplied
Hand written name/location of the previous owner in NZ on the Side 1 label and INSIDE the cover - the name has been obscured for privacy
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good - very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see some very light - light scuff type marks on each side. I then played the entire album, surface noise is higher than normal but not excessive. Gentle low level clicks/pops at times, particularly quiet sections of music. I suspect another "decent" wet clean, preferably with a vacuum system, would clean up the grooves nicely.
Overall this album is an excellent play, clean and no serious issues with surface noise & clicks/pops
New outer protective sleeve
Tracks: Message In A Bottle, Reggatta de Blanc, It's Alright For You, Bring On The Night, Deathwish, Walking On The Moon, On Any Other Day, The Bed's Too Big Without You, Contact, Does Everyone Stare, No Time This Time
