1972
Australian release
Being a release that is 'special' to me, it has always been stored in a plain vanilla archival sleeve. These are much thicker than standard sleeves-covers or bags (whatever you prefer to call them) and inside are completely lined with clear plastic. No personal writing on this archival sleeve at all.
New inner plastic liner (in addition to the liner which is already within the archival cardboard sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually examined under a bright White halogen light source and I can see NO marks or scratches on either side, at least that I could easily see. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played this release ENTIRELY, both sides and completely, and there are no issues with surface noise nor clicks n pops on Side A but Side B does have some low level "clicks" during the intro and running for around 10 seconds. I took a second look at this side and yes, I can see a very short, light scratch near the run in - explained!
