Track Listing:
Side 1: THE PROMISED LAND / BEAUTIFUL JIM / NO NO NO / SHE'S GONE WEST / NO CHANGE BABY
Side 2: STUD / IN THE CITY / LEAVE ME ALONE / ROSE-COLOURED SKY / LIVE TOGETHER

LABELS: CLEAN labels with NO marks/unwanted writing and barely any spindles 
VINYL Visual: The vinyl still retains its original DEEP, GLOSSY SHEEN but the surfaces do have a few light hairlines (minor) and several very small white spots, one of which the original owner has tried to remove and in the process made it look worse (this one spot is audible as a dull click but for 6 revolutions only - the rest have no real audio consequence)
VINYL Audio: The audio is CRYSTAL CLEAR, STRONG and VIBRANT - BEAUTIFUL LP. There are NO jumps, NO sticks, NO scratches and just a few intermittent light clicks/pops (including those mentioned above) and some light surface noise on the run-ins and between some (not all) of the tracks. Nothing too major and certainly nothing which I found too intrusive on play-grading this WONDERFUL LP. The album plays to a high standard with SUPERB AUDIO CLARITY, NO discernible groove-wear and NO distortion (it has seen little play). Must be very critically graded VERY GOOD+ or audio and NOT over-graded in ANY way as I use STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR grading standards (please refer to my feedback and 'about me' page)
SLEEVE: The original gatefold cover is in EXCELLENT+ condition - CLEAN, CRISP and BRIGHT. The edges are SHARP and CRISP with very little wear to speak of (just some very minor corner 'bumping') and the spine is straight and true with all text CLEAR and BOLD. BEAUTIFUL SLEEVE
