The suggested air date on the box is "July-September, 1970", and some of the labels have dates written on them, all in 1970.
The records all look to be in about VG+ or better condition, still beautifully shiny, and most of them with hardly any visible surface wear, although they look like they could all use a good cleaning. I've played three or four of the sides on my Audio-Technica turntable, and they played through with no skips or jumps, and very little audible background noise. Based on a visual assessment, I would assume the other sides should play equally well, but no guarantees. Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering technology and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well they will play on your equipment.
The box itself is in functional condition, but with the corners split and the sides bent in or splayed out, typical of being squeezed or flattened.
International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws. COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping.
