I bought this set, when it first came out, as a present for my Stepdad who had fallen in love with my own copy.
As was his habit, he played it once - very carefully - and put it on tape. The vinyl went away into the top of his wardrobe and hasn't been played since.
I have NO IDEA how the top of the spine became damaged... it LOOKS as if the record fell onto the floor of the wardrobe and then the door closed on it, jamming the cardboard spine as it did so. There is also a split in the outer paper covering of the spine about 3" long.
The inside of the spine shows no damage - and neither does the inside of the box itself.
The record sleeves have an extra "curl" to them because, in the initial releases of this box set, they were slightly too big and "bunched up" a little. It is NOT water damage.

VINYL CONDITION: NM.
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX/NM  -  see comments and photos about spine "damage"..
Dust sleeve/lyric sheet: original set of sleeves and booklet..

sorry about any reflection in the photos.



Grading System - Please read carefully.

The Records/Books that I sell are generally quite old and they are USED.... If you expect a fourty year old record or book to look like it just came out of the shop - these are probably not for you.
The adjectives that I use to describe them are NOT based on Record Collector - or any other "source" - they are simple English terms.
If you have any doubts or questions and would like further clarification - please ask BEFORE YOU BID.
I no longer own a turntable so I have not played any of these records.

But I have removed each one from it's cover, wiped it gently with a DRY micro-static cloth and then looked carefully at it with my reading glasses on... if there was any VISIBLE marks that looked as if they would resist a PROPER cleaning with proper cleaning solution, then I simply discarded the disk.

I do not attempt to re-glue old seams that have simply come apart with age or remove sticky labels or their residue
as, frankly, I'll probably mess it up. Such things are easy for the buyer to repair in their own way.

If you have any questions - don't hesitate to ask.


My scans and/or photos are real.
