THE PLATINUM ALBUM - Compilation (Various Original Artists)
K-Tel Records
Cat# NA 583
1981
Australian release
Lightly embossed cover is in good condition, no personal writing, no seam splits, no tears and only medium edgewear from normal handling, however the overall original White background colouring has become more like a pale Yellow/Brown over the years. Cleaned and there are no "smells" but it just looks a bit "tired". Notice the small notch up in the top left hand corner? That is a "deletion" mark, placed there because the album was removed from retail sale - the reasons can be many and varied but NOT because the product is faulty.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl record is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches or marks on either side. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the album ENTIRELY, every single track on each side, there are no significant issues with surface noise nor clicks/pops at all - if I was to make any comment it would be that I felt the surface noise was a little higher than "normal" - gave this vinyl a thrice clean in the Monk and although this improved things, it remains just a little noisy, principally between tracks.
