JOAN ARMATRADING - Walk Under Ladders
A&M Records
Cat# RML 53007
1981
Australian release
Cover is in good (minus) condition, this means while there are no personal writing, no seam splits, no tears and barely any edgewear ... the album was not stored in a nice dry place and I can see "spotting" to the front and rear cover. The inner printed sleeve however is not affected, actually in very good condition. I have cleaned & sterilised the cover as much as possible - no smells!
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. Just one minor issue noticed on Side 2, Track 2 (At The Hop) where there are 3x low level but clearly audible clicks and then no more (short scratch) - nice play from Joan!
TRACKS: I'm Lucky, When I Get It Right, Romancers, I Wanna Hold You, The Weakness In Me, No Love, At The Hop, I Can't Lie To Myself, Eating The Bear, Only One
