Condition

All three records show normal vintage wear, including visible surface scuffing and scratches. Despite the visible wear, each album has been play-tested and plays well on our equipment.

No cracks, chips, warping, or other physical damage were observed. Because these are vintage records with visible surface wear, occasional light background noise may be present during quieter passages.

The jackets show normal shelf, edge, and handling wear consistent with their age. Please review the photographs carefully, as the exact records and jackets shown are the items included.

Each record has been cleaned and will be placed in a protective outer sleeve and packed securely in a purpose-built LP mailer with tracking.
