Bonus items (thrown in by me as part of the package:

CONDITION OF BOOK:

As new – has remained stored in original packaging since purchase. Julian Casablancas signature is attached to one of the pages inside the book.

CONDITION OF CD & DVDs:

As new – some minor surface marks on both CDs and DVD that were present upon original purchase. This was due to the poor postage/shipping method where the CDs remained unsecured in the box. The marks on the discs do not affect the playback.

CONDITION OF “PHRAZES OF THE YOUNG” LP:

Cover – Gatefold cover is free of any bumps or knocks. Some very minor marks & scratches which are from manufacturing and/or shipping. The item is just as I received it and has since been stored in a plastic sleeve and stored up right in a vinyl/records cabinet

Condition of 180g Vinyl –

Side A – some very minor surface marks.

Side B – some more noticeable surface marks due to poor handling during manufacturing/packaging stage. The LP remains unplayed.

MATRIX NUMBERS:

Record  -        Side A: 88697 – 48421 – 1 – SA (hand etched)

                       Side B: 88697 – 48421 – 1 – SB (hand etched)

CONDITION OF POSTER:

As new/unused – remained safely in gatefold cover since purchase.

CONDITION OF PIN:

As new/unused – in original plastic bag.

CONDITION OF BOX:

The antique style box is constructed of heavy MDF and has a glossy paper veneer stuck to it. In honesty it is poorly constructed and has some minor marks all over from the manufacturing stage.

The condition of the box and the entire package is just as I received it, therefore I would assume in principle it is no different than any of the other packages that were manufactured and shipped.

The entire box set was originally purchased by me at the time of release and has since been stored in a cupboard in its original packaging. The LP was stored separately upright in professional vinyl storage unit at room temperature and out of light.
