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 - excellent condition, edges are all great but a light creasing to the top right hand corner. Rear has a little wear, particularly top centre area. No seam damage, no tears no splits and no writing. Includes the inner printed lyric sleeve.

Vinyl is in very good - excellent condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see NO scratches Side A and just two extremely light "marks" on Side B, microscope shows them to be tiny tiny little scuffs.
I then played both sides entirely, very quiet play (surface noise is of a very low level) and there is absolutely no significant issues with clicks/pops at any point on either side.
Nice clean play - turn it up!
