The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 - Original 1991 Dutch pressed 58-track 3LP Box - Incl. Booklet

Rare 1991 Dutch pressed Columbia label 5LP vinyl box set featuring 58 rare and unreleased tracks - demos, alternate takes, live versions a.o. - spanning the 1961 - 1989 period.

Vinyl has the generic all red company labels with black centre print and white rim and top printing.

Vinyls are accompanied by 68-page booklet and held in individual illustrated tracklisting inner sleeves - ultimately in a 12" square 2-piece picture box.

Condition: 5xVG+(+) - VG++ (Vinyls and Labels)/5x VG++ (Inner sleeves)/VG++ (Booklet)/VG++ (Box):

Vinyls are bright and shiny - Side 3 has a single broader but completely inaudible mark - vinyls have otherwise only a very marginal degree of sleeve induced wear.
Labels have either none or a single or two simple and light spindletraces.

Labels are either mint or extremely close to and vinyls are overall graded near mint.

Inner sleeves are nice- no splits, rips, writing or bends - only light and small wrinkles from handling - easily graded near mint.

Booklet has only very marginal signs of handling - almost no creases or wrinkles from the usual marginal cover bends caused by the leafing through the booklet. Back cover has a little edge rubbing to back opening as well.

Box itself is remarkable clean... only hints of corners rubbing - really next to nothing - the kind of shape that most dealers would label as mint. Bottom and top lids are both extremely close to - overall a very, very nice copy.
