Vinyl has been played but was lovingly taken care of by previous owner and is in near-mint condition, no flaws whatsoever. There is no libretto with this set but there are some notes, newspaper clippings and typescript dating to the 50s, 60s and 70s. The sides of the front cover of the box were coming apart so I have taped them together; overall the box is sound and the artwork on the cover essentially unblemished.
