The record labels to ALL records are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl to ALL records is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these Box Set LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and ALL records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 1 TINY and NON sounding surface mark (on 1 record ONLY), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  ALL RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK SUPERB!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the records is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  They play with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The records overall MUST grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  WHAT A SUPERB SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Picture' Inner Covers which are in SUPERB condition with NO splits, NO rubbing, NO writing, NO rips, NO tears, NO folds, and only some VERY minor 'ruffling' - simply caused from sitting untouched inside the Box for many years!!!!  ALL the 'Picture' Inner Covers MUST grade FULL Excellent if not Excellent+!!!!  THE BOOKLET IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN USED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  It does have some VERY faint and VERY minor fold indications across it (VERY unnoticeable indeed!) - but this was most likely from the factory in packing when this Box Set was made - and after sitting inside the box for many years it is now VERY flat looking indeed and has NO damage AT ALL (PERFECT pages, staples, etc)!!!!  A STUNNING BOOKLET!!!!  The 1st Press Outer Box is in STUNNING condition and is one of the BEST I have EVER seen!!!!  It is VERY attractive indeed - and it still retains a STUNNING box shape!!!!  ALL the corners have NO splits AT ALL, and there is NO repairs of ANY kind!!!!  There is NO grubbyness AT ALL, NO staining, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL on the top of the box (MILES better than most - and the best I have seen), and NO writing!!!!  There is also some fractional and ULTRA light rubbing to the VERY edges of the box ONLY - but this is MEGA light, on the TOP surface ONLY (NOT worn though), and only to the VERY point of the edges ONLY - the actual flat surface of the edges has NONE!!!!  Importantly I cannot see ANY evidence of fading, and this Box Set has a PERFECT spinal edge with ALL the words FULLY readable!!!!  There is some slight corner wear (but NO splits), and a PERFECT and UNDAMAGED 'hinge', barely ANY yellowing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), and NO grubbyness of ANY kind!!!!  Even the inside of the box is in PERFECT condition and the black back of the box is in AWESOME condition with NO wear AT ALL!!!!  This Outer Box is EXTREMELY hard to find like this and MUST grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  THIS BOX SET IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
