This is one of my vinyls from my younger days growing up in New Zealand
It's now time to find a new home for this record.
This vinyl was last played about 30 years ago (until today) and then put away.
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.

Cover is in very good condition, edges are all great with no splits. Graphics are clean and undamaged. No writing anywhere. Includes the inner printed graphic/lyric sheet
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see two light but long scratches/marks on Side A and just one on Side B.
The only real test of vinyl is to play it, so I then played both sides entirely.
A very nice play with just slightly higher than "normal" level surface noise (not a problem though) with no significant issues created by the scratches I can see - just an occasional short duration click/pop which is not repetitive at all. If anything, Side B has slightly lower surface noise than Side A. This is a great play, interesting art rock music.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
