    I really like this album. Another gem from the 80s. The sound is great. Pressing is fine. I recommend it.
    Played on:
    Technics SL-100C, Audio Technica VM-95C/E/ML (depending on record condition and taste), Rega Fono Mini A2D MK2, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777

      "A Secret Wish" is another precious pearl of the 80s. This album by Propaganda is one of the most underrated bands of that decade (like Lotus Eaters) as far as the genre/style of Synth-pop and New Wave is concerned.

          I disagree with VG+ description for the album cover as there is some significant corner damage but the album is certainly a VG+.
