Condition report:
External sleeves and jackets are generally in Very Good (VG) condition with typical shelf wear, minor corner bumping, and light ring wear, particularly to the Dandy In The Underworld cover. Gatefold interiors and lyric inserts show evidence of foxing and light handling marks. The red vinyl disc of Billy Super Duper appears clean with no significant surface marks; remaining media was not removed for full inspection but appears well-stored within the jackets.
