    Arrived today and I love them so far! I've tried one disc on my music box and it sounds great. I'm sure the others will be just as nice. The box was crunched but it didn't seem to damage the discs and theres nothing the seller could do about what happened after it was put in the possession of the USPS. This was a good transaction. Thank you!
