Simple grading can be misleading, so please read the full description of condition which I hope will be helpful.
Condition: This is a boxed three record set. The box is strong with no broken corners, and clear legible spine, though there is some wear to the edges, particularly the bottom one. Also included is a 32 page libretto in good order. The disca are housed in original Decca FFSS poly-lined sleeves.
The vinyl looks good and bright with no obvious marks apart from the customary odd paper scrape. Labels are bright and clean with very few spindle marks, and play excellently, with just a little light background crackle in places - probably the result of static / almost 50 years' worth of dust. (As with many records of this age, they might benefit from cleaning on professional grade equipment.)
Overall, this is a very good copy of the set. I am not a dealer, but would guess that this might be graded as VG box, VG+ vinyls (per RC guidelines)
Please note: I try to test-play a significant part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. As a record collector myself, I have had disappointing purchases, so if you do encounter a problem, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage: I do not set out to profit from P&P charges - price quoted below is my best estimate of exact Royal Mail charge first class or airmail. Packages are only covered for approx £40 compensation, so you may wish to purchase additional insurance (which can be expensive for overseas mail). I am happy to combine shipping to minimize expense for multiple purchases (though a 2kg total limit per package will be observed for overseas shipping). International cost is for airmail - surface mail can be cheaper, particularly outside Europe, but can take several weeks.
Postage cost (947 gms before packing) - UK £4.41, USA & Far East £15.23, Europe £7.90
Payment by Sterling cheque / sterling money order or Paypal
