Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, no seam splits, no tears and no significant edge wear however there is a small light discolouration on the front right hand side from a previous label.
New inner plastic sleeve is supplied
Vinyl is in excellent condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see no scratches/scuff marks at all on each side. I then played both sides, playback is very good and there are no issues with clicks/pops or surface noise EXCEPT AS NOTED BELOW!
It always pays to read the album cover! On Side 2, first track is a lovely piano/sax number and almost at the end of that track is a "crackle" - I immediately thought a mistrack had occured, but look as I might, I could not see any defect of any kind. I then read the back cover, it clearly says that this track has an audio issue (the crackle) but it was decided to leave the recording on the album. So there you have it, yes there is a very short "glitch" or "crackle" but this is NOT a media fault but part of the original live recording.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
TRACKS: Clown Raga, Off Balance, This Way Out, Hysterical Rochords, A Youth In Asia
