Collectable OZ music gem and part of OZ music history. A New Zealand 1972 original issue, very scratched but still sounds ok with enjoyable music.        

Vinyl Grade: side 1 looks –VG, other sides look VG, all sides have lots of scratches that you would expect to cause noticeable surface noise that detracts from the music. First close photo shows worst looking side 1 and second close photo shows best looking side 4.   

Sound Quality: VG, has light background surface noise, does not overpower the great music that can still be played loud and enjoyed, more noticeable side 1 and not very noticeable side 3, no loud clicks/pops on any sides, fully play tested just before listing. 

Cover: worn cover, gatefold, has damage front top left, flat, overall wear, name written inside right gatefold, ring wear.

Labels: clear, no spindle wear. 

Records graded directly under very bright table light for the visual grade. Sound quality checked by playing to ensure that visual grade and sound quality are consistent. 

Mint M and Near Mint NM: Looks perfect as new. N and NM is only appropriate for new reissue records and not for vintage vinyl that has been played, regardless of how perfect it may look.

Excellent Plus +EX: Lovely gloss, no visible scratches, scuffs or marks. Has been played but has been handled well and still in great condition. (highest grade that I use for vintage vinyl)

Excellent EX: Lovely gloss, shows some slight signs of wear, including light trace/hairlines from the inner sleeve, light scuffs or very light marks that you would not expect to hear as surface noise. 

Very Good Plus +VG: Shows a few more very light marks than is allowable for EX so not quite EX. These signs of use would be expected to cause some light surface noise but not to detract from the music.

Very Good VG: Shows light scratches and marks and some that you would expect to cause surface noise, especially in soft passages, between tracks and during a song?s intro and ending but not so much as to overpower the music which can still be enjoyed.

Very Good Minus -VG: Shows significant wear and marks that you would expect to cause noticeable surface noise that detracts from the music.

Good G: In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records lacking much of the original gloss and with many scratches and marks that you would expect to cause very noticeable surface noise and clicks/pops that seriously detract from enjoyment of the music. 

Postage: I package very very well and only charge the actual Aust Post cost. Aust Post now includes insurance with compensation up to $100.

Payment: thanks within 7 days of purchase with PayPal.
