Cat# SBP234948
1977
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no personal writing, light edgewear from normal handling, no seam splits and no tears.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is also in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I cannot see any scratches or marks on either side. Just looking at your disc of Black plastic isn't a very good method of judging the condition so I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and there were no issues at all with surface noise nor click/pops on Side 1 although Side 2 DOES have an "event".
On Side 2, track 1 (Pigs - Three Different Ones) @ 07:40 in, there is 6 low level clicks. I looked at this area very closely and can see a tiny "dimple" in the vinyl. NO MISTRACKING occurs, just the six clicks.
Another thing came to my attention while playing this vinyl - it does not lie perfectly flat. I am not talking about a "put you safety harness on, this is going to be a roller coaster" type of warp but a very very gentle "wave" that the tonearm easily rides. This isn't one long wave as the record rotates but I count three small, gentle waves with each revolution of the vinyl. I could not hear any sound issues created by this gentle wave in the vinyl.
New outer protective sleeve
