PIL classic METAL BOX album set, 3 x 12" vinyl discs, a rare and groundbreaking album, classic post-punk genius. I worked in a record shop at the time, and these metal box sets were limited in number, and usually arrived with one or more discs having marks  from the packing at the factory. A metal box is not the best container to pack in.  Metal Box has usual patination and discolouration from its four decades approx. and is typical, looks great, and has METAL 1 sticker on the back. The track list sheet is complete, red on white, no tears or writing and has a few handling creases. Disc one nice clean labels, vinyl very fresh and clean, and only tiny small scuffs, probably from factory. Disc two has a couple of light hairline marks on side one (1-C) otherwise fresh and new looking. Disc three is also fresh and new looking but has a small light scratch in the middle of side 1-F and another longer but light scratch on the same side. Plays with minimal noise and no jumps on my gear. Photos show reflections of my camera in the vinyl. There are no coloured smudges or dirt, etc. the vinyl is very clean and new-looking. The white paper dividers/sheets/leaves between the discs are original and all present with some handling creases. This set is not mint, but is a very nice set mostly EX with the virtually un-gradable box in very good to excellent, if aged, condition. Anyway, this is from a one owner (deceased) collection from a friend, and I'm selling with all funds going to his family. Please be generous. Plus it is a GREAT album. Very powerful and creative. ENJOY!
