20 HAPPENING HITS (VOLUME 3) - Various Artists
Majestic Records



Cat# TA-245

1973

Australian release

Cover is in good condition, no seam splits, no personal writing and very little edgewear from handling. One side of the vinyl record label did have a persons name written but this has now been "whited out"

New inner clear plastic sleeve

Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light and I can see a few scratches on either side. Most appear to be very light - light but one looked troublesome as it is a lateral groove, running almost in the same direction as the grooves. This is on Side 2, around track 5 (Donna Fargo). Just taking a look at the vinyl doesn't cut it and can often be deceiving so I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, there are no significant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops on Side 1 and MOST of Side 2

EXCEPT

Track 5 (Donna Fargo - Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A.) is where the lateral scratch is located. About one minute into the track, MISTRACKING occurs - it is not a pretty sound (or sight) - for the sake of your ears and your stylus, avoid playing this track.

The remaining tracks on Side 2 are fine.

Even with this issue on Side 2, a great nostalgic trip back to some classic Australian music or even that dreadful Popcorn song, the beginnings of electro-pop and take a look at the choreography in the video clip!
