This copy sounds fabulous, basically as did everything coming out of Australian record presses in the mid 80's. Just the best sound, always reliable you can really turn it up and let it run.

Absolutely a banger production is very live presentation great bottom end cleaner soundstage overall hard to find clean copies after all this album turns 40 next year.
I paid up for a nm copy listed as vg+
@ $50 it's a must have Australian classic rock album. -
They just do no wrong RIP Chrissy. there is no one album when it comes to divinyls you need them all and even then some releases were pure digital. Damn it’s so raw you can feel the ion in the album it’s a must spin.
