Australian release

New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, this means that I have visually inspected the record under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light ~ light scratches or scuff marks on either side. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the vinyl (both sides) ENTIRELY and here I found another issue. The vinyl is NOT flat! Not a severe warp to the vinyl but a gentle, slight cupping of the vinyl i.e Side 1 plays but with this gentle 50% of each rotation - "up the hill" and 50% of the rotation - "down the hill" motion of the tonearm. I am talking gentle and no mistracking occurred at all. Side 2 plays (and looks) much better because the slight curve of the vinyl is upwards from Side 1. Now the tonearm moves across the vinyl in a relatively flat position across all tracks.
Surface noise is not an issue and there were barely any clicks n pops - a really good play from this wonderful musician.
