It is robust and held together quite well. It has some rubbing wear on the front and back both inside and out. When I obtained this for my collection many years ago I removed all the albums from their original plastic sleeves inside the binder and cleaned them. They have since been housed in new paper sleeves in generic cardboard covers which they will be shipped to you in.
All LPs are in Near Mint condition. I have played the albums that are in English. All of those are good pressings with hardly any surface noise. Very excellent quality pressings. I confidently play grade those as EX to NM. Some of these have "pressing dips" [the opposite of a pressing bubble] I could not detect any effect on playback and definitely no skips. I payed quite a lot for this set, had it shipped from South Africa and was very happy with my purchase.
This very rare set will be very securely packaged. There is a video on Youtube of the English language "Man of Destiny" broadcast from this set if you want to hear it. That upload was sourced from my set that I am selling here.
