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)
Fantastic release from Flying Nun, 4 bands on one record set (and the photographs are pretty cool too!)
Its like getting 4 EP's in one

New Zealand release
1982 - THIS IS THE ORIGINAL RELEASE, NOT THE 1987 REISSUE OR REPRESS
Heavy cardboard gatefold cover is in very good - excellent condition, light handling wear to the edges. Light creasing is visible near the spine (front).
SPECIAL NOTE: the cover is designed to be reversible with print on both sides of the spine HOWEVER if the cover is reversed then you end up with The Stones on the front but The Stones are not on the A side of the record. Inside the gatefold is excellent. Rear has a small area with a section of graphics which have disappeared (rear left side near the top) No tears and no writing.
New plastic inner sleeve
Both vinyl are in good - very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see a few very light scuff marks & some light scratches to all sides - all of them do not look to be of concern EXCEPT on The Stones side, in the inter-track area track 3/4 "something" is on the vinyl, perhaps another clean will remove this.
I then played all four sides entirely, and the play is very, very good. Sure there is the very occasional click/pop, but I these are few and far between. I paid close attention to The Stones track 3 - 4 transition area but absolutely nothing heard! Very nice play with low surface noise.
