Condition report:
The collection shows significant signs of age and wear across most items. The cardboard LP jackets exhibit heavy shelf wear, edge fraying, and corner scuffing throughout (Photos 2-17). Significant ring wear is visible on several covers, most notably on the Jackson Browne and Roxy Music jackets (Photos 6, 9). Moisture damage and staining are evident on the top edges and corners of multiple sleeves, such as the Elton John and Dire Straits examples (Photos 10, 16). The 7-inch paper company sleeves show creasing, small tears, and general discolouration (Photo 1). The vinyl media has not been individually inspected but the visible condition of the outer sleeves suggests a well-used state.
