AC/DC: TNT, Vinyl LP Australian (made in New Zealand) Import version. 9 Tracks. Gatefold sleeve.

 

Cat No APLP.016. See discog info below, believe this is the 1981 issue.

When originally bought it was played at most 3 or 4 times, then filed away in their polythene sleeves on a shelf…only to now surface.

Cover is in near mint condition. No splits or ring wear, very slight scuff and crease to bottom left hand corner when viewed from front, otherwise sharp corners.

Visual inspection reveals disc in very good condition, bright glossy lustre with few hairline marks, the most apparent being:

Side 1:  end of track 1 and ¾ way into track 2.

             ¾ way through track 3.

             Across most of track 4.

Side 2: Mid track 3 and across track 4.

None of these look that deep I merely mention them as they take the condition in my opinion down from near mint. I've tried to catch these as best you can but shooting vinyl is tricky :)

Very slightest light spindle marks.

Please see the photos.

Selling on behalf of my Dad (who supplied all the info) from his personal collection, from the olden days when he collected vinyl.

Important perspective info, please read….thanks 😊.

A few words about the vinyl grading.

I try to be as honest as possible, but all grades are based upon an experienced but ultimately subjective visual inspection, trying to identify and highlight obvious issues.

Back in the day whilst my Dad purchased much of the vinyl new, as he expanded his collection , (eventually running into a few thousand discs) hence many only played once, inevitably he was drawn to second hand (pre-loved) copies of certain discs, including the rarer original 1970’s issue boots.

As you will appreciate, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this or looking at the listing, the nature of many of these live/unofficial recordings meant that original production standards were not necessarily a top priority, with occasional mastering/pressing faults occurring.

Similarly with any second hand vinyl which in some cases is almost 50 years old they will potentially exhibit aural signs of having been played, sometimes a  fair bit..these are not mint, new unplayed discs (unless stated).

The attraction for my Dad was either obtaining the different variations of an issue or otherwise unavailable rare recordings…its called collecting!

When playing vinyl my Dad had a Technics SL1800 turntable with Ortfon cartridge, so no thrashing and grinding on an old  fidelity UA4! (early 70’s starter bedroom lo-fi, crank it up 😊).

 

I aim to use recycled packaging when possible, but rest assure that your vinyl will be well packed and protected against the trials of postal travel!
