A&M Records
Cat# RML 53144
1985
Australian release
Cover is in good condition, there is no personal writing, no seam splits, no tears and barely any edgewear ... I do notice however on the front cover (top right hand side) is a small discolouration from a previous retail pricing label having been removed but this label caused slight discolouration to the cover underneath. The inner printed sleeve is in very good condition.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl 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 on both sides and for the most part this is a very good playback. No issues with surface noise nor click/pops although at times there were just a single click or two. I also did hear the result of a light scratch on Side 1, track 5 (Love By You) - around 3~5 low level clicks and then all is fine with the world.
TRACKS: Persona Grata, Temptation, Moves, Talking To The Wall, Love By You, Thinking Man, Friends Not Lovers, One Night, Secret Secrets, Strange
