Classic Records 45 RPM Series Audiophile quality issue of the now classic Buena Vista Social Club original recording made in 1996. This set is brand new, factory sealed. Long out of print. I'm the original owner. I bought it about 20 years ago. This awesome set contains eight single-sided (pressed only on one side), 12 inch, 180 gram records cut at 45 RPM, for greater dynamic range and superior high fidelity. Remastered from the original master tapes, by the legendary remastering engineer Bernie Grundman, for the ultimate sound quality experience. 
8 X 12" Single-Sided 45 RPM Records. Made in the USA. Guaranteed to be factory sealed only. No other guarantees. Box is age stained under the shrink wrap. Please see photos.
Because this record set is factory sealed, the records and jackets are assumed to be in mint condition. The sealed records I sell, from my own personal collection, are sold as audiophile collectibles. Their premium pricing is based on the fact that they are still sealed. Please consider this very carefully before you open up this sealed record set. I cannot be responsible for pressing defects, warps or any other factory errors. I cannot accept a return once this record set is open and the shrink wrap seal is broken.
The box is not mint, it has age stains. I've kept all my records in specially designed and made LP plastic storage boxes, on an industrial shelf rack, in a spare bedroom for the last 20+ years (please see photos). Still, some humidity, during the summer months, might have somehow managed to get inside the sealed shrink wrap, causing the stains on the white box, over the years. I think a book cover cleaner (used in libraries) might remove those stains. I've cleaned many record covers that way.
Your record box set (13" x 13" x 2 1/2") will be securely packaged and double-boxed to protect it during shipping. The outer box is 16" x 16" x 7". Free US Postal Service Media Mail shipping (2 - 8 days), tracking and insurance within the continental USA. If you prefer I ship it via FedEx or UPS, please let me know. I'd split the shipping and insurance fees with you.
Please no buyer's remorse, no false claims or or any type of dishonesty. I'm not Amazon. I'm just an audiophile selling some of his own record collection. Thank you for your understanding. Please ask any pertinent questions before buying or making an offer.
