i want to know in what contition is the vinyl, the cover and if it has scratches on it and you cant hear it properly

The lyrics on this album are great. Classic AC/DC tongue in cheeck humour about women, sex and rocking. But mostly about sex. Highway To Hell is one of the best tracks they ever recorded.

There is also a "Manufactured in Germany by Record Service, GmbH Alsdorf" version that is very similar to this version with a different matrix number.
