Bruce Springsteen BOX SET 5xLP Live 1975-85 (ALL 5 PLAY TESTED) NM/NM/EX

On CBS Records (Cat: 450227) original 1986 UK release of the box set of 5 LPs, including 36 page colour booklet, and 5 original colour sleeves.

RECORDS: The records have been play-graded, and are in perfect condition, like new, as if straight from the factory, with only two crackles on the entire 5xLP set, and that is at an announcement. There are no other crackles, no clicks, and no jumping or sticking on any of the albums. The records are free of scuffs, and the labels are in great unmarked condition, but because they have been played the records are graded NEAR MINT. (PLEASE NOTE: Obviously I grade as MINT factory sealed discs, and also unsealed discs that I have genuinely not played from new).

BOOKLET: The 36 page colour booklet is in great condition, with no folds, creases, tears, writing, or other blemishes, and is graded EXCELLENT.

SLEEVES: The five coloured record sleeves are in immaculate condition, with no folds, creases, writing, tears or other blemishes – like new – and are all graded NEAR MINT.

BOX: The box is in great condition, with both front and rear surfaces looking almost new. The edges are also in the same condition. There is one corner that has some wear – the lower spine, just at the edges – this wear mark measures approx. 2.5cm - please see photo close-up of this area. The box is graded as EXCELLENT.

Please see my feedback to give you assurance of my descriptions.

Track list: see photos.

GRADING: Records are graded using the Rare Record Price Guide – please ask if you require further information. I always play grade the records I sell, unless sealed or stated otherwise.

PACKAGING: This item will be protected inside a strong thick card pro-mailer with a stiffener – see my feedback.  I prepare a record (unless factory sealed) for despatch by re-packaging it in a new polythene-lined inner sleeve, and place it separately from the company cover to avoid splitting the seam. The record could otherwise slip around inside and cut through the edge of the card cover. To add further protection, I place the whole package inside a polythene outer slip case. If you have an alternative request for packaging, please contact me before making payment.

From a smoke-free, pet-free home.

COMBINED POSTAGE: I always combine postage costs wherever possible. On multi-purchases up to 4 single albums (LPs), postage is the same as for a single item (LP). This includes gatefold covers as well. Please wait for me to invoice you after the auction/sale, or if you prefer to pay straight away, I shall reimburse any over-payment for postage via Paypal.  

POSTAGE UK: £FREE Royal Mail Parcelforce Tracked 48. Other postal services – please email me.

POSTAGE OVERSEAS: Shipping charges are available on the drop-down country list.  The Global Shipping Program is used for overseas destinations – packages are posted to the UK GSP central depot, where they are re-addressed & shipped to the final destination. There may be a further (import duty) charge at the destination country.
