Cat# L 70167/70168
Special note (for those who are interested in such things) - the laquer was cut for this release by Warren Barnett, as indicated by W2B in the matrix runouts
1980
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits, no writing and only light edgewear from normal handling. The two inner printed sleeves are included, strangely the Record 1 inner sleeve is a thinner paper than the sleeve for Record 2. Both inner sleeves are in good condition although the Record 1 sleeve (being thinner) has more signs of handling and some light creasing.
New inner plastic sleeves
Both vinyls are in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see NO significant marks or scratches on any of the four sides. Just looking at the vinyl is not a good way to judge the vinyl condition so I then played this double album ENTIRELY, every single track and all four sides. Surface noise is not a issue at all and barely any click/pop events at all with the exception of Record 1, Side 2 in the run-in area (while Roger is talking to the audience) there is a low level click, click, click but once the song (Breakfast In America) gets underway, there is no more clicks to be heard - buried by the music. I love this live album, takes me back - way back in time!
