Description
AC/DC ?– High Voltage
Top Copy. Archival.... One of the best, if not the best in the world... and I can not see how it could be better!!!
Top of the tree for ACDC Original Australian issues
- Alberts "Blue Roo" labels in Mint condition, with the Broonzy credit for "Baby Please Don't Go" on both label and sleeve.
- NM Vinyl... pristine ... unmarked, - I have played only some very small areas (0.8gms B&O Linear track), mainly to test the Audio and Deadwax, and both are magnificent, with superb audio, and quiet deadwax.
- An immaculate NM+++++ Original sleeve (nothing "near" about it.. this is a sleeve to die for!! Factory fresh, not shop fresh... factory fresh!!!) we did not "factory seal" vinyl records in Australia, so really, this is Mint.
The Original sleeve has the distinctive Orange band, on both sides of the red border, just above the dogs head - No swapsies with some later issue that had an all Red border - be wary of this one, as the later (post 1987) "All Red border" sleeves are a lot easier to find in NM condition (I have seen the Red border sleeves with Roo labels in them, so clearly they are not the original sleeve)
The 1983 issue is Orange on only the right hand side of the sleeve border.
See this one below - it sold for $525.00, The Roo label is a Joe Williams credit, the vinyl is only VG+, the NM sleeve is only half Orange, because it has been swapped with a 1983 issue sleeve. DOH!!!!

A few words about postage.
Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)
My Policies on postage are simple.
The user pays.
I package well.
