This box set was a freebie and included with a stack of other albums. It looked great; the records were shiny and there were no noticeable spindle marks. Unfortunately once on the turntable, the sound was not very good. Lots of background noise - clicks and pops that really burst my bubble! So, fair warning, you will definitely hear some noise as I don't over-process the sound reduction when digitizing my records. ~Gipsy Dancer~ 😞
