Here I have for sale the rare Australian import of the original TV soundtrack to 'Against The Wind' (1978), composed and conducted by Jon English and Mario Millo.

Jon English & Mario Millo ‎– 'Against The Wind' (The Original TV Soundtrack) (1978)

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyl – VG-EX. Very clean on visual inspection. One short hairline on side 1; a long and a short hairline on side 2, but these don't affect playback. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is excellent. No jumping or skipping. Overall, a very enjoyable listen to this rare Australian TV score.
Outer sleeve (Cover) – VG-EX. Fully laminated and not textured. Colours are unfaded and bright. A few small vein-like creases on front; some near aperture. Light corner damage but spine and edges are clean, unworn and unmarked. Aperture shows only the mildest of wear. Reverse side is clean and unmarked. Slight detachment in lower left edge by aperture. Overall, a great example.
Inner picture sleeve – G. Original. Lots of creasing and major folds. A few small marks on lyrics side. Detached/split along one side edge.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
