3 LPs, box, and cue sheet in used condition. The records themselves look great -- see pics. They haven't been played since broadcast. The box has sustained a little water damage on the bottom -- again, see the photos. There is a sticker affixed to the top left corner of the box corner reading "DIRE". The cue sheet has a staple, a couple of minor folds at the corners, and some handwriting, but is otherwise in great shape.
