RCA UK vinyl 2 Box Set 1929-1979

RCA UK 50 years. This box set (2LPs) was given to a selected few employees (not available to the public). The music covers the range of artists associated to the label over it’s 50 years in the UK. This box set is 30 years old therefore the white box is slightly faded. The records were rarely played and are in good condition. However, on the Neil Sedaka track (Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen) there is a small mark on the vinyl and this makes a short click sound when played.
