HEADS UP LOVERS OF THE VINYL SOUND (AND THAT NICE BIG JACKET)!
Storms storms and more storms, it's the Australian way of life and unfortunately accidents sometimes happen. Some of my vinyl collection copped it big time! I managed to scream around and save what I could and other albums were also partially saved. Imagine the scene with my plastic containers of vinyl records floating around in the storage units! Windsor NSW 2020 Oh what a year ...
HALF DRESSED or partially clothed means the outer jackets (covers) became damp on some albums, basically knackered the cardboard! But I retrieved the inner printed sleeve and the vinyl on a few albums before the dampness could seep through the outer cardboard cover.
This is one of those albums - it is 'half dressed' meaning the outer cover has gone to the 'big turntable in the sky' (actually it was pulped for recycling) but the inner sleeve and vinyl record remain on earth and in the condition described below ....
Sad as the cover of a record is half the fun but hey! the main thing is the music and that was saved
Please read the description CAREFULLY ...

I will provide this album inside a brand new plain white heavy cardboard outer to protect it.

New inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see NO marks or scratches. Very clean and NO STRANGE SMELLS! I then played the ENTIRE release, every single track, and there are absolutely no issues with surface noise or click/pops
