Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, Live 1975-85
Original 1986 UK CBS Records 5 x vinyl LP box set. Each disc comes housed within a separate picture sleeve and booklet is included. Housed in box with original plug sticker to front.
Generally a solid EX. Discs are bright and glossy with just a few scattered light and wispy scuff marks. Just sides 8 and 10 are a little more marked with some very gentle scratches. On side 8, track 1, there are three soft ticks to the quiet spoken intro. Towards the end of side 10 there are two consecutive mid-level ticks. With a very light cartridge setting there is possibly a gentle skip at the second of these ticks. However, with normal stylus setting (and I have tested this on a couple of turntables) there is no skip heard.
Otherwise the set plays a solid EX throughout with absolutely minimal low level crackle at quieter spots. Notably the dead wax/separator bands are generally nice and quiet.
Labels are all clean and unblemished.
The picture sleeves are generally clean and free of splits but (mostly the picture sides) have light to moderate storage spotting. There are also one or two minor disc darkening impressions. One of the sleeves has a light diagonal crease to top corner.
Booklet excellent with fractional half moon handling creasing and no storage spotting.
External box is still structurally sound and has not been knocked about. Some minor wear and scuffing to edges and joints but nothing heavy or unsightly.
