THE VINYL -   All 3  of these records are lightly played with minimal evidence of spindlewear - all 6 of the LP surfaces retain all of their original gloss. 

Undamaged, Black and Silver Decca Wide Band labels with bright color (please see photos).
 
Evident are some light marks from sleevewear, and a few shallow hairlines. The grade for each record (below) reflects the presence of these light marks.

The set has been carefully handled, infrequently played, and the audiophile stereo audio playback is impressive.

SXL 2078 :   EX+       1E / 3D Stampers

SXL 2079 :   EX+  (this LP has a very slight edge warp that does not affect the audio playback).   2E / 2E Stampers

SXL 2080 :   EX       1E / 2E Stampers




THE BOX SET COVER -   VG+ :  Please see photos / generally well stored / the front shows light scuffing / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact with minimal edgewear / present is taping on the box edges. It doesn't appear to have been placed as a repair, rather it seems to have been placed to keep the box set from being opened (likely by the record store) / present is a sticker on the back of the box - top left / no writing, stains, paper loss or dirt.

The 20 page Turnadot  booklet / libretto is intact and in fine shape.



Included are all 3 of the original Decca plastic-lined paper inner sleeves (please see photos).

RECORD GRADING DESCRIPTION:

THIS RECORD IS SIGHT-GRADED ONLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, ACCORDING TO THESE DEFINITIONS:

SEALED: RECORD IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC & UNOPENED.

NM-: RECORD HAS LITTLE OR NO INDICATION THAT IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.

EX: MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE (LIGHT SCRATCHING/PAPER SCUFFS), BUT IN ALL A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN WELL-CARED FOR.

VG+: LESS CARE THAN EX, LIGHT SCRATCHING OR SCUFFING IS MORE EXTENSIVE. STILL VERY PLAYABLE & WILL LIKELY PROVIDE A QUALITY SOUND.

VG & BELOW: WHILE PLAYABLE, THIS RECORD HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK. OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR & SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE IN A LOW GRADE.  A RECORD GRADED BELOW VG MAY HAVE A VALUE BASED UPON ITS RARITY OR UNIQUENESS.

WE  RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLEAN THIS RECORDING BEFORE PLAYING. RECORDS THAT ARE  DECADES OLD CAN ATTRACT & ACCUMULATE DAMAGING FOREIGN MATERIAL THAT REDUCES SOUND QUALITY. THIS IS NORMALLY EASILY CORRECTED WITH A GOOD CLEANING.
