This is one of my treasured vinyls from when I grew up in New Zealand
I LOVE music, all music but its now time to find a new home for these records.
I am hoping this vinyl will find it's way to someone who also appreciates great (or quirky) New Zealand originated music.
This vinyl was last played about 30 years ago (until today) and then put away, bought over to Australia and then put away in safe/dry storage once again (upright)
My background is technical, particularly relating to the professional music/audio industry and because of this I give a LOT of detail about what I am offering.
Prior to advertising this vinyl, it has had a standard wet wash & vacuum and dry.
The vinyl is first visually inspected and then played ENTIRELY. None of this "played the first 30 seconds" stuff, what good is that!
Visual inspections can be deceptive, the only real way to judge a record is to actually play the whole record entirely (unless still sealed of course)

This record is a "split" meaning, two artists/bands on the one record (saves costs) like two EP's together
All songs, by both bands, were recorded live at the Mainstreet Cabaret - Auckland
The Legionnaires, led vocals Graham Brazier (Hello Sailor). Eventually other members from Hello Sailor joined the band and it was renamed Hello Sailor in 1985
Dance Exponents were a pop rock band formed in 1981 then disbanded in 1987. In 1991 they reformed again, this time as the Exponents
The Legionnaires/Dance Exponents - Live At Mainstreet
Mushroom Records (New Zealand)
Cat# L38017 (Legionnaires are Side A Dance Exponents Side B determined by matching matrix codes with the label)

New Zealand release
1983
Cover (heavy cardboard) is in very good condition, I would have described it as excellent except for very light handling wear to the edges and a couple of creases. Includes the heavy card mono printed insert which is in excellent condition. No writing or labels on the cover or insert.
The front and rear cover graphics are 180 degrees rotated
New plastic inner sleeve - the original was white paper but discarded
Vinyl is in good - very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see a few light scratches but no nasties. I then played both sides completely and a very nice playback both sides, Side A is particularly very very nice with not even a click or a pop! Side B I "think" I could hear a couple of very low level clicks during Airway Spies but its hard to tell - the production standards on this vinyl, especially Side B are not the greatest - terrible inter-track fade in/out, not well edited.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
