The box is in generally good condition but does have a scuff on the front, this has removed some of the silvering on the lettering – see photo. The booklet and LP sleeves are in good condition. The records are also in good condition and play well.
The box set weighs nearly 2 kgs (even without the packaging) so the postage is quite expensive.
(UK buyers only please.)
