As mentioned in condition box,"All records in very good to excellent condition. Little sign of wear. I have played all records on my 60's turntable and they are amazing. There is the usual background hiss from these old recordings. The binding cover, edges and spine do show some signs of wear. Some loss to Gold lettering on spine and top of spine has tears down edges about 2 inches. Recordings not affected." Because of the fragility of these old records, I will only ship priority.
