Please see the scans of the disc as to their condition. The discs are cloudy even with a cleaning with Disc Doctors solution. There are a couple of indentations on the disc with part 2 of the program that do not effect play. There is light surface noise, especially at the start of part 1, but becomes much less noticeable by the 2nd song - the discs sound better than they look. Perhaps someone else can give these discs a better cleaning than I could. Discs are in very good condition with very good to excellent- sound
Please note that, due to their size, most standard turntables will not play 16 inch radio transcriptions. For $10 I can make a CD copy of both discs for the buyer only
U. S. Buyer pays $8.00 Media Mail shipping
