I bought this when it originally came out.  I played all six LP's once to record onto cassette.  It has been in storage ever since.  This is as close to mint as you can get.

Please ask any questions within twenty-four hours of closing to assure that I can get back to you with answers and or more photos.  If you buy other records from me, I can combine shipping.  Please add 1.00 for single and double LP's and 2.00 for box sets.

Happy bidding!
