The box & wooden/leather spines show negligible edge wear over the past forty odd years & the librettos are complete, clean & undamaged. The vinyl is near mint on the whole, with just a few showing the occasional faint sign of play & with the exceptional audio clarity that only these specialist pressings can give.
