For those who are not from Australian shores, you may be wondering what on earth a "dropbear" is ... this video may explain the legend of the Dropbear ... HINT, these are a mythical creature - have no fear, come visit Australia in any case. P.S this is nothing to do with a "Dropkick" which is an entirely different thing

1984
Mini Album - play at 33rpm
Australian release
Cover is in very good condition, meaning that there are no seam splits, no personal writing and no tears. The inner single sheet (photos and credits) is also included and is in good condition.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, I say "minus" because on Side 1 there are two light~medium scuff/scratch marks, Side 2 has no marks or scratches. I remember the day this terrible event happened, although it was a long time ago now. A guest at our studios was a bit under the weather and mishandled this album, we always had a lot of music for our clients to listen to while they waited for their own precious recordings to be processed by the sound engineer. Every piece of music is important to us, so to see this vinyl in such condition dismayed us BUT all was not lost ...
Although the two marks/scratch lines don't look great, just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I today I have once again played the ENTIRE release, all tracks and there are no significant issues particularly on Side 1,with surface noise nor clicks/pops. Sure there is the occasional click towards the end of Side 1 Track 1 and at the beginning of Track 2 but nothing devasting and absolutely NO MISTRACKING! Side 2 has no issues with surface noise nor clicks n pops.
TRACKS: Proud, Straight & Narrow, Dancing Is Dead, The Beginning, Pretty Flowers, West That I Want
