Another great compilation from the EMI stable, although this copy has been carelessly handled (poor tonearm control) on Side 1 in particular
THERE IS AN ISSUE! Please read below about these issues ...

1981
Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits with only light edge wear from handling BUT a a within two circles has been hand-written on the rear cover (top left hand corner) and Side 2 of the record label has an ID number hand printed in Pink. Includes the nice single page, two sides promotional material providing details of the albums that each track was lifted from.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see a LONG light ~ medium scratch on Side A but no others of significance on the rest of Side A. Side B is clean, nice! Just looking at the vinyl isn't a good way to judge the condition, so let's have a listen ...
I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides, and that long scratch on Side 1 is certainly creating some click/pops.
The first four tracks all have a low level "click, click, click" which is typical of a light scratch. NO mistracking occurs!
Once the first four tracks are played (or avoided, depending upon your taste in music) the remainder of Side A is fine and certainly Side B is fine (actually my personal favourite)
Surface noise (as distinct from click/pops) is not an issue, the grooves are quite clean.
