CONDITION Details:

The 3-LP box is in near mint minus condition! The box has NO splits or crushed corners. The corners and seams are solid with just some light shelf wear noticeable. The colors on the jacket are sharp and clean, some of the paint has been lifted off where a price sticker once was at the front, top right corner (see pictures with this listing as they are of the actual item).

The set comes with a 12"x12" paper insert/libretto - shows a bit of wear due to age.

The 3-LPs are in near mint minus condition! We found that the vinyl looked excellent on this vintage LP set. There are no significant marks and the LPs retain much of the original gloss and sheen - obviously well taken care of! They do have a bit of dust and perhaps a finger print or two on them so they should be cleaned before playing. There are NO serious spindle marks on the record labels either. Just beautifully made vinyl! That said, acquiring a vintage LP like this is for the performance and rarity of the LP, not necessarily for the sound quality.

A Short Note About LP GRADING -

• Mint {M} = Only used for sealed items.
• Near Mint {NM} = Virtually flawless in every way.
• Near Mint Minus {NM-} = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
• Excellent {EXC} = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
• Very Good Plus {VG+} = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

For best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them.

The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).

Don't let this rarity slip by!!!
