This is a deluxe LP box set featuring 11 records, including a separate volume by Haruo Minami as a storyteller, released in 1972 by Teichiku Records. It's a collection of popular songs performed by ten storytellers, with this being Volume 10. I've only listened to Volume 1, performed by Beiwaka Suzukii. Volume 1 shows some wear around the center hole of the record label, but there are no scratches, stains, or crackling sounds on the surface. I visually inspected the other 10 records, and they appear to be free of scratches, stains, and signs of use. The large-format 34-page booklet contains the lyrics and musical phrases of each ballad. The other 10 records are unplayed. Shipping is free, so I'm offering it at this price. (It's really heavy...lol) Please see my profile for information on discounts and combined purchases of records.
