See photos for full listings, and to see the condition of the sleeves and slipcase. Three of the sleeves have areas that look to have had stickers removed.
The box/slipcase is in fairly worn condition, with a couple of tears on the lid, and some sticker residue on the back. Lots of scuff marks on both sides, but it holds the 4 LPs well enough. The map that originally came with this set is sadly missing. However, all the LPs play very well, with no skips or jumps. There are crackles and pops, but this is to be expected from vinyl that is 45 years old! UK sales only, all records posted in strong LP mailers.
