I have owned this boxset since new [1991] and the discs have probably been played on a turntable 2 or 3 times. The discs are in very good condition and are in their paper sleeves,within the individual covers. The covers are in excellent condition and have been always stored in the outer box. The outer box is in good condition for it's age with  slight creasing on the rear of the box and 2 indentations on the spine,which unfortunately was there when i bought the only copy i could get at that time. The box includes the popup Zappa/Mothers on stage which will open when the box is opened.  I do NOT have the Tshirt as i wore it to death when i first bought the boxset,sorry. I believe there was a badge also but it wasn't in the box I bought, again,sorry
I have checked the Post Office and due to the size and weight [2.4kgs] of this boxset the price i was quoted is £12.98.
