THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, WITH JUST SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING. I PLACED THE RECORDS IN NAGAOKA-STYLE INNERS AFTER CLEANING AND AGAIN AFTER PLAY-GRADING.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS MAGNIFICENT TO LOOK AT AND STILL RETAINS IT’S FULL GLOSS. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF THE LIGHTEST HAIRLINE MARKS OVER THE FOUR SIDES. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED GRADED THIS AMAZING BOX SET AND CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT, APART FROM A FEW SLIGHT BACKGROUND NOISES THAT I DETECTED DURING SIDE TWO. I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS. I WILL GRADE THE FOUR SIDES OF GLEAMING VINYL AS BEING IN NEAR MINT / EXCELLENT+ / NEAR MINT / NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH SUPERB SOUND QUALITY.
