Vinyl in very good condition. Most of the sides play with a slight bit of intermittent surface noise, although this is not overpowering and is not audible during most of the tracks. There is a mild hairline scratch at the start of side 1 causing a recurring click during the second half of the first track, all of the second track, and at the start of the third track. Overall this is still a well listenable set.
Record sleeves in very good+/excellent condition with no edge splits or writing anywhere.
Box in very good condition with a slight bit of peeling at the top of the title spine, although this could easily be glued back down. Overall it generally looks very good+ with just mild general shelf wear. The folding spine is still intact and the inside looks tidy with the strip of red ribbon still in place.
Book in very good+ condition with just mild wear to the cover and edges. The pages inside look clean and pretty tidy, and there is no writing anywhere.

I am selling lots more Rock 'N' Roll, Rockabilly, Revival, Psychobilly, Rhythm & Blues, Blues, Doo Wop, Country and Country Rock over the next few months so please check my other auctions and ebay shop..!
