The back is yellowed from age, and there is a bend on the bottom right corner. Just like what others have reported, Volume 4 side B plays the tracks from Volume 5 side B. Therefore, I have included a sealed copy of Volume 4 (2019), which may or may not have the same issue. I recommend keeping the original vol.
4 because misprint records can increase in value. The wooden box has some mild wear, with the worst being the splintered edge of the lid (circled in one of the photos).This can be easily repaired with a little sanding and polyurethane or kept original. "Honky Tonk Time Machine" VG Vinyl has light hairlines and scuffs. Mild bends on the bottom right corner of cover. All the LP's in the "Strait Out Of The Box" collection, I will say, are graded at least a VG+.
Other sellers might have given them a higher grade. Some of the LP's may not have been played. All LP's have some degree of light scuffs from being pulled in and out of the cover. Some have a couple of very light hairlines, and some have fingerprints. 1 has some crinkling around the center hole on side 1.
6 has some marks on the front cover above the hat. All LP's should play just fine.
I'd grab this highly sought-after copy with the low number of 44 because another chance may not come along.
