Booklet has 3x fixed sleeves but I don't trust these (old and slightly milky colour) so the vinyl is inserted within these sleeves inside new clear plastic sleeves
Record cover is in good condition, clean although liquid spill marks are visible inside the front cover. A Y is also printed inside the front cover. Clean if somewhat aged looking. Edges are only lightly worn from normal handling. Spine is secure and sound.
New Outer protective sleeve
All 3x vinyl are in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see only a couple of very light marks/scratches on Record 1 Side 2, ALL other sides are very clean - shiny. Surface noise is extremely important when playing such beautiful piano music and this 3 vinyl set is no disappointment. Very nice clean play on ALL sides, the very occasional low level click/pop but most enjoyable music.
