1970's ?? USA Original was released in 1968 but this Australian reissue is not dated.
Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, edges have very light handling wear, no writing however the rear of the cover is a little "grubby" due to the matt white card used. Manufacturing error, Side 1 track 4 is listed on the rear cover as "Terminaton" but it is actually Termination. Record label states Made In Australia but WEA is not mentioned, just "under licence".
New inner plastic sleeve is supplied
Vinyl is in good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see a number of very light to light scratches/marks on each side. I then played both sides, and this album is a really good play with just the occasional low level click/pop with low level surface noise. Watch out for Side B, that's 17 minutes (one track) of continous mind bending psych rock! Very long drum solo followed by long keyboard solo then along comes the classic hard rock sound - just fantastic. Just the occasional click throughout this epic track, worth getting the album just for this song then play it and play it again. There is a lot going on and it needs repeated plays to hear new music you didn't realise were in the previous play.
