Description

I am not an expert on the Blue Box Sets.  Here is what I know...


I believe it to be a UK BC Blue Box set from 1985.

Some of the paper sleeves were replaced with MFSL sleeves.  The last 5 or 6 LPs in set still have paper sleeves that say Made in Great Britain and dates are 7/85, 10/85, 11/85.  Couple just say "envelope printed in West Germany"


They do say Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd on the covers.  


Blue Box - BC-13 OC162-53163/53176 (Code is on right side) Top corner of box torn along the seam, see picture.  Box edges have some normal shelf wear and tear.

All the LPs look real nice.  Some look like they have never been played.  A few have a couple spindle marks near the hole. Many of the LPs have a couple of marks that follow the tracking of a song or 2.  They marks range from an inch to a few inches.  I think it is just how they were manufactured, they do not affect play.  


I have listen to them all, but it has been many years.  I do not recall any skipping.  2 of the LPs have what appear to be scratches, but not major ones.  As you can tell, I am not a LP expert by any means.


Jackets look really nice, none are split or torn and none have any ink/initials on them.  They are all in plastic sleeves.
