Debut, original Australian release album from the "52's", I and many others of my age group will remember this stunning release very well ... so so good

After all this time it was great to hear Kate "doing her own thing" once again on vocals and keyboards.

As the record label says ... PLAY LOUD

I believe this is the original, not the repress release. Same matrix coding, sleeve printing BUT this copy has the [Warner logo]® a Warner Communications Company printed on each record label, no mention of WEA as on the repress.

Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits, edges have only light handling wear, no personal writing and clean. The same applies to the inner printed lyric sleeve.

New inner plastic sleeve

Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source I can see just a couple of very light scratches on Side 2. Just looking at the vinyl is a not a great way to judge the overall condition so I then played this album ENTIRELY, both sides and all tracks. There are no issues with surface noise nor clicks n pops - a truly very nice playback of this "blast from the past"
