Condition
All records have been carefully inspected
All 10 records are present.
The discs are in excellent condition, with excellent gloss and present exceptionally well for their age. No cracks, scratches or significant groove wear noted. As you can see from the spindles they look to of have minimal play. One record (No 4) has a small chip to the extreme outer edge in the run-in area, shown in the last photograph. This does not extend into the recorded grooves.
Labels remain clean and attractive throughout.
The original album is complete and structurally sound with age-related wear, light marks and an old label residue to the front cover as shown in the photographs. Internal sleeves remain present and in good order. Although there is some colour fading to the first few sleeves.. see photos
A very presentable and increasingly difficult-to-find complete HMV Gilbert & Sullivan album set.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
Will be packed extremely carefully with the records removed from the sleeves during transit to help prevent damage.
