High Voltage 1975 - First album, First issue.
Unreleased anywhere, other than Australia,and New Zealand, and with an entirely different track listing to the rest of the world.
Original
1975 Australian early First issue, with the "Broonzy" credit for "Baby
Please Don't Go" on both the label and the sleeve.
The vinyl record is Excellent, with fantastic audio.
Visually Near Mint
The audio is truly as good as I have ever heard, fidelity wise Quiet deadwax and background, with crisp and sharp audio, with brilliant Stereo separation / image
Side One plays perfect. Near Mint
Side Two plays Excellent - over 98% of the revolutions play mint, but there are 7 brief and light tics in a row near the start of track One, and 3 or 4 really faint ones on track Four, otherwise perfect.
The labels are Near Mint. The sleeve is Near Mint, (these original issue sleeves are very hard to find in this sort of condition)
Insurance is available from Australia Post, at whatever it costs. (about $18 international, and $10 in Australia)

GOOD

of edges, spine splits, discolouration,
etc.

cared for properly and displays considerable
surface noise; it may even stick, skip or
jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant
listening experience at the top of the grade

experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and
contents will be torn, stained and/or
defaced.

A few words about postage.
Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)
