Some more info on EMI Australia - "Maxicut" was only indicated on EMI releases when actually almost all cuts were done using this system. Some discs worth looking for - first release ACDC 'Back in Black", "For Those About to Rock" and a DMM reissue of "Let There be Rock" cut from the original analogue master tape. There are many others, all with no scribing to identify that they are Maxicuts. As for DMM, EMI wasn't licensed to use the trademark so the discs didn't have the sticker, however the cuts initially had a 'Mastered on Copper' stamp and then later simply scribed Emidisc DMM. The most prolific mastering engineers were Don Bartley and Leon Zervos at Studios 301, and Alan Parsons who started at 301, then moved across to EMI Maufacturing's DMM aka Emidisc. Otto deserves a special mention - one of his cuts for CBS prompted 301 to poach him for their mastering rooms.
LP is from a private collection. It will be securely packaged in a proper  cardboard LP mailer & with bubble wrap.  LP cover will come in a protective plastic sleeve.
