Condition
Vinyls: VG-EX. Superbly clean on visual inspection. No obvious signs of needle scuffs or scratches. Some light mottling/marks perhaps due to tight inner sleeve. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is great. These are archival recordings so quality is obviously limited to original source. No skipping, jumping or sticking. A decent listening experience.
Outer sleeve (cover): VG. Colours are bright, unfaded and clean. Wonderful gloss sheen to both sides. Disc outline present. Large curved crease on near aperture edge. Thick spine clean and intact apart from tear at bottom. Corners dented, scuffed and some are torn. Edges are mildly scuffed. Top edge has 3cm centre split. Aperture shows some wear and nicks and bowed due to weight of 3 inner sleeves. Reverse clean with mild creasing in from some edges and few scuffs and dents/nicks. Disc outline also present. Overall very good.
Inner picture sleeves: EX. Original. Discs housed in printed inner sleeves all with comprehensive liner notes and credits. Nicks to squared corners and some creasing. Clean and intact.
