Special Note

The LP vinyl records may have surface scratches or scuffs.  The spindle holes show minimal use. The box shows minimal wear. I have not played the LPs. I am strictly using a visual rating. I would rate the records as VG+ or Excellent and the box as VG. There are notations on the inner box.  The front and back of the inner sleeves has information about the artists and songs on the records.

 

The“Readers Digest Original Hits Of The Big Bands” boxed records come from a deceased friend of the family who maintained his collection with great care.  I am helping a family member dispose of the collection in a manner that should make the collection available for other to enjoy.
