$

50

This is the first press booklet version of the box set with all records having the DG white label, flat edge. This is NOT the later boxed version. The book itself is in vg++ condition with some corner wear on two corners. The book is still attached to the inside of the book and has the W49 address, no incorporated. The pages have some yellowing, but all are included without wrinkles or tears. All five lps are included and the condition ranges from vg++ to m-, with the sides limited to marks from taking the lps in/out of the sleeves. All sleeves are attached and 3 have 1” splits on the bottom seam.    

All records are shipped in record mailers. I do not ship to the following:  Belarus, Burma (Myanmar), Cote D' Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russian Federation, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Zimbabwe. All auctions ship by Saturday following payment. Domestic purchases above $300 and international buyers please contact me before bidding for shipping rates or wait until my invoice before payment. I am a record collector and music lover, and not a record dealer, and I have been collecting for 20 years. I try to grade conservatively assuming that buyers are collectors, too, so that the buyer is happy with their record. Grading is somewhat relative, so to avoid confusion I use the following scale: RECORD GRADING: Sealed: A new record still in the original packaging. NM (Near Mint): The highest grade of a used record. Like new, most likely unplayed. VG++: A record that has a few visual imperfections that will not affect the sound. Likely played only a handful of times or never at all. VG+: More surface marks than a VG++. The record has probably been played before but well taken care of and may play with very few audible imperfections. VG: The record will display light surface scuffs and marks. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or occasional pops. A VG record will play with very minimal noise and will still be quite enjoyable. My VG grade attempts to be conservative. VG-: The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG record but will play without skipping. G: The record will have heavy wear and very apparent surface noise. I generally don’t sell G records unless they are very rare.
