Made in NZ
Unable to reference any source further information about this NZ release, I have found a test print release with the same matrix codes but nothing else and no references to any Australian release of this album
Members of Curved Air at this time were:
Sonja Kristina - vocals
Darryl Way - violin, keyboards, vocals
Francis Monkman - lead guitar, organ, synthesisers
Florian Pilkington-Miksa - percussion
Philip Kohn - bass guitar
Very interesting rock band, predominant use of the violin in ways that were very ground breaking back in the 1970's

The name has been obscured for privacy
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl media is in very good condition, inspected visually and both sides have a couple of light scratches only. I also noticed a very slight uneveness in the vinyl, NOT a warp but not absolutely perfectly flat. This does NOT cause any tracking issues, I am talking VERY slight uneveness. I then played the entire album - no issues at all! Just some very low - low level surface noise at times, the odd click/pop but none are significant. Very good listen.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
Tracks: It Happened Today, Marie Antoinette, Back Street Luv, Propositions, Young Mother, Vivaldi, Everdance
