Condition of all four LPs and the bonus 7" prom 33 is a SOLID NM with no visible surface marks anyplace. One LP does have an extremely slight slow warp which only becomes apparent when the record is placed on a turntable and which has absolutely no effect on play. LPs come packaged inside the box in custom inner sleeves with song lyrics and album credits, these are in VG+ condition with a couple having small splits in one edge which I have neatly repaired with clear tape; one of the inner sleeves also has some wrinkles from storage. Condition of outer box is a high VG+ with the only real flaw being some contact wear and a little bit of tear along the edges and on the corners - Box has NO TORN CORNERS, NO SPLITS, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE SPINE.
This box set would be a choice addition to any Electric Light Orchestra or classic rock record collection! Media mail postage within the United States is $4.72. I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - POSTAGE RATES COVER INSURED INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING. BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the box set if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
