This set is in very good condition for it's age. The records show some usage and are in VG condition. The Sleeve shows some staining on the front that you can see in the picture. There are also some rub-throughs on the front and a peeled back piece on the back that can be seen in the picture. The individual record sleeves on the inside are all still attached and have no rips , writing or tears.
I played this on my stereo and it played and sounded great!
This is a great chance to add this very rare early Bird recording to your collection.
