Well, haven't societies attitudes changed over the last 50 years!
This is a very 'blokey' album of Rugby songs, with a very sexist front cover photograph - the whole concept would be considered totally unacceptable by today's standards
These songs are of English/UK origin and I am not sure if they were well known in the other 'Rugby Nations' such as New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. There was a number of similar albums from Hallmark (UK) in the early 1970's.
THE SHOWER ROOM SQUAD - Sinful Rugby Songs
Summit Records
Cat# SRA 026
1970
Australian release
Cover is in good condition, no marks or writing, no seam splits, no tears and just light edge wear from normal handling however it looks a bit 'tired' and shows signs of 'foxing' where the cardboard underneath the lamination (front) has yellowed slightly due to interaction with the environment. Nice touch with the oval (rugby ball) shaped record label, not the standard round label.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl record is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see some 'scuff' marks on both sides but they don't appear to be too serious. I then played this album ENTIRELY, every track, and while the surface noise level is at times more elevated than 'normal' it is still perfectly listenable and certainly no mistracking occurred. Clicks/pops (scratches) were only very few in number and at a low level when they occurred.
New outer protective sleeve
