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, extremely light top edge handling wear and the smallest of "dog-ears" to a couple of corners. Rear is fine. No seam damage, no tears no splits and no writing.

Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see NO scratches Side A and just one extremely light mark on Side B. The main reason I couldn't call this excellent is because once on the platter and playing, I can see just the slightest of uneveness in the vinyl - instead of being perfectly flat, the tonearm gently goes up and down ever so slightly while playing - not something horrible like a true warp but it is not flat. Absolutely no mistracking and I use extremely low styli weight to check for things like that.
I then played both sides entirely, very quiet play (surface noise is of a very low level) and there is absolutely NO issues, particularly with clicks/pops at any point on either side.
Nice clean play - turn it up!
