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)

New Zealand release
1985
Gatefold cover is in good - very good condition. It is clean with no edge wear, seam damage, tears or writing HOWEVER you can see a liquid spill mark on the opening edge - front - front inside and rear inside - rear. Not so heavy discolouration but quite easy to see, one small spot on the front opening edge were the graphics have been damaged (very small area)
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see a number of very light - light scuff marks on both sides.
I then played both sides entirely and although I can hear an increased background surface noise AT TIMES, this album still plays very well.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
Tracks: It Was Raining, All Laid On, The Lady And The Lizard, Don't Send Me Away, Lying In State, Phil Too?, For The Love Of Ash Grey, The Ballad Of Harry Noryb
