The outer box and booklet are nearly perfectly preserved, I couldn't find any notable flaws. The condition of the vinyl is near mint for all sides, I only see a couple minor spindle marks on the labels of disc one, simply indicating that the record has been played. I gave it a cleaning on my VPI, and spun it, and the sound is gorgeous, near mint playback - these are wonderful pressings! Top condition copy of this classic, in demand Mosaic Monk set!
