Street Sounds 'Essential Electro The Business' UK original 9 LP box set from 1984. Number: HBOX1. This box set is sealed and in new condition, with intact shrink wrap. It looks like it's new in the shop in the 80s! The back of the box is slightly 'dished' - concave inward - due to age and tension from the shrink wrap. These boxes were made from quite thin cardboard. There are no dents or creases or scratches on the box. The corners are sharp and crisp. According to the printing on the box, they made only 5000 of these sets. I don't know if that's accurate but they do seem quite scarce on the second hand market. They're certainly very rare in this condition.
I've had this set for many years but I kept it stored in a box - in a cool, dark, dry place - while I played an opened copy.
Please note that the vinyl discs inside the box come in plain paper sleeves. They don't reproduce the covers of the individual LP releases. I wouldn't like anyone to be disappointed after they break the seal and then try to return the opened set for this reason!
The Street Sounds label was set up by Morgan Khan to make rap and hip-hop music accessible to music buyers in the UK.
There are 9 LPs inside the box so it will be quite heavy after packaging.
