GONE TROPPO - Various Australian & International Artists (Compilation)

K Tel Records

Cat# TA 265

1980

Australian release

Cover is in very good condition with no seam splits, no tears and only very light edge wear from normal handling.

New inner plastic sleeve

The vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see a number of light ~ medium scratches on either side. A visual inspection just doesn't cut it so I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides.

There is a slightly elevated level of surface noise but overall of a low level. There is also the occasional low level click/pop on some tracks but nothing too dramatic but a couple of tracks (well played and poorly handled tonearm) have more obvious 'click click click' events that last a few seconds, of medium level. There is absolutely NO mistracking! Some real 'gems' on this release (remember when Norman used to make us all laught?) and I had the distinct impression that Side B has a better selection of songs and has been played more than Side A due to the greater number of scratches! The playback is not terrible at all but it is not perfect either!
