This is an original, official item from the Uber Deluxe box set of Achtung Baby. Please check out my other listings as I am selling all the items from the box set.

This is the outer box only (plus the quality control card and the two polystyrene holders/retainers for the DVDs and CDs). No other items are included. There is some mild wear to the corners of the box and some slight scratches to the bottom of it, but the only noteworthy issues is a couple of neat repairs to the corners of the front panel of the bottom tray, where the panel was pulled to remove the tray rather than the attached ribbon. As the bottom tray is quite stiff you have to use the attached ribbon to pull it out otherwise you will tear the corners of the front panel. Please note that these small repairs have been done neatly and carefully and would only be noticed if you were looking for them.

Detracting features not covered above:  None.

This is a large, heavy item. Even empty, it weighs over 2Kg.

All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions before you bid or buy, but please note that the seller is away during the last two days of the auction.

Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading.

I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid.

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packag­ing might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable sur­face marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for prop­erly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
