On offer here is an ULTRA RARE original issue of AC/DC's first Australian 7” single, with DAVE EVANS on lead vocals (pre-BON SCOTT).  The A-side of this single has never been officially released outside of Australia.  The flipside eventually surfaced on the “Albert Archives” compilation album.

GRADING (also refer photos)

Original EMI Sleeve:

EX+ looks superb despite some insignificant handling wear.

Record:

visual: beautiful glossy sheen—insignificant hairlines, also few light surface scuffs on side 2 which do not affect play (seen under strong light) (side 1: M-, side 2: VG++).

audible: M- sounds superb despite some completely insignificant underlying surface noise.  A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

labels: HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR, felt pen mark from outer edge to inner rim (side 2).
