CONDITION:

WTC book I (05268/73):

Box: VG / Record 1: VG+VG / Record 2: VG~VG+ / Record 3: VG


WTC book II (05106/11) :

Box: VG / Record 1: VG / Record 2: VG / Record 3: VGVG+


COMMENTS:

Both boxes are very sturdy, each has decent cloth wear along edges and especially spine & small detachments on front (mostly WTC b.II), please check pics for being sure


All vinyl visually matches VG or VG+ grade. While retaining some initial shine it has a lot of hairlines/scuffs/superficial scratches meanwhile, most looking as if it came from original rough paper inners, still none of those marks are feelable; additionally there're x6-7 tiny pressing bubble on R3, and x1 similar one on R4 S1 / a few (x4-5) needle marks on R4 S1 one of which looks quite significant (b1) but plays through with x3-4 of lite clicks only / bold but superficial 0.8mm scratch on R5 S2 b1. No visual warp of records. Medium to decent spindle wear each label


Records play with moderate background noise and there's very few only instances of mostly occasional & non-irritating mild clicking/pops in addition to mentioned; no audible distortion noticed. Wonderful quality pressing. Nevertheless, considering surfaces are yet not silent (for any reason) I would conservatively grade playback of all records as VG
