This is a 6 record set of New Jersey crooner, Francis Albert Sinatra, singing "The Voice The Columbia Years 1943-1952" on Columbia C6X 40343 from 1986. Each of these 6 vinyl records looks to be in Mint condition (looks unplayed). Each record comes in its own custom cardboard inner sleeve and these sleeves are in NM condition. A previous owner wrote the playing time of each song on these inner sleeves - otherwise they would also be considered Mint. The box itself is in NM condition. Again a previous owner wrote the playing time of each album on the back of the box. All four corners of the box are still intact. Any collector of Frank Sinatra would be proud to own this box set. This is not a CD set - it is a vinyl record set. Included with this box set is a 12-page booklet with stories and pictures of Frank's years at Columbia Records. 

U.S. postage and handling is $5.00 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote. All LP's will be shipped with the record outside the jacket to protect the jacket during shipment.

I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 39 years. 

If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 39 years now and as of February 2018 I am celebrating 19 years on eBay.

Definitions:

Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.

NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.

VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.

VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.

Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
