This is a great copy of the second album by AC/DC. It is the second pressing, 1977, blue and yellow label but without the 'kangaroo', and without the text STEREO at top. 
It has one minor issue, there is a small warp which is only noticeable when playing. It has absolutely no impact upon playback, but it is noticeable. I played tested the LP all the way through, both sides, with a light tracking Grado Black cartridge (1.5g) and there was no issue with tracking at all. It is difficult to show this with a photograph, but I have tried!
"T.N.T. is the second studio album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC, released only in Australia, on 1 December 1975.
T.N.T. contains some of the band's best-known songs, including the title track, "It's a Long Way to the Top", "The Jack", and "Rocker." Seven of the album's nine songs were written by the Young brothers and Scott, while "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" predated Scott's involvement in the band, having been recorded as a single with former vocalist Dave Evans. It features a different arrangement and slightly different lyrics from the original version. It also runs almost a minute longer. "School Days" is a cover version of a Chuck Berry song, a major influence on both Young brothers. "High Voltage" was the first song written and recorded for the album, the title inspired by that of the previous album. In 1993, Angus Young shared the origins of the title track with Vic Garbarini of Guitar For the Practicing Musician: "I remember sitting home one night before going into the studio and playing around with some chords, and I suddenly thought, let's try playing...A...C...D...C. Sounded good. And then I thought AC/DC...power..."High Voltage"! I sang the chorus part to my brother in the studio and he thought it sounded great." Issued as the first single before the T.N.T. sessions began, many fans thought it was from High Voltage. Chris Gilbey of Albert Productions later claimed this caused a late surge in that album's sales. Lyrically, the LP features Bon Scott chronicling both the good and the bad about the rock and roll lifestyle, warning aspiring musicians that "it's harder than it looks" ("It's a Long Way to the Top") but also defiantly telling the moral majority to "stick your moral standards 'cause it's all a dirty lie" ("Rock 'n' Roll Singer")."
