Description: Albums- VG (All 3 albums look really clean, but when holding a bright light up to them I could see several hairline scratches on each side and sleeve rubs mainly on the leads. When testing I heard light surface noise between songs and softer passages. Even though it's light, it's really noticeable on the leads and runouts. I also heard several very light clicks on each side, but no skips during the songs. On the lead to Side 6 it jumps. I played this area 6 times, jumped 3 times and didn't the other 3). Even with everything I listed the albums sound really good when jamming!Jacket- Fair (Gatefold. The edges are scuffed up pretty good, but light. The spine shows some heavy scuffs. Has a 3" split starting on the bottom and a 1/2" split in the middle. Corners are scuffed and has small dings. The top corner is dinged good leaving a few creases. Ring wear is noticeable on each side). I've seen worse, but this one is not in the best of shape. Good for holding the albums!Inner Sleeves- Good (All sleeves show light handling and ring wear. Self-titled has a tear on the top and a 2" split on one side and along the top. Dress To Kill has a 5" split on the bottom. Hotter Than Hell has a 2" split on one side). Overall, in decent shape!Booklet- Good (Shows handling wear with light wrinkles. Top corner has been bent leaving a crease. On the last page there is a 1/2" tear on the bottom. Each page is attached). Looks good! Photos are of the actual item you will get. Any major flaws should be visible in photos. If you would like any photos not included, please ask. I am not a professional grader, but each album has been played (spot tested) and cleaned. I spend approx. 20 minutes listening to each album. I listen for surface noise on the lead, intros, between songs, and softer passages. I also play over any surface scratches and scuffs I see to make sure there is no skipping or pops. If anything, I under grade! Nothing like getting a record that is listed as Near Mint or EX to have deep scratches all over it and skips when played. When grading, my priority is sound, then surface marks/scratches. If it sounds NM, but has several surface scratches that you cannot hear I will grade it EX. When listing I also hold a bright light up to both sides of the album to look for hairline scratches. I will list this in my descriptions. Each jacket will be shipped in a new outer sleeve and each album in a new inner sleeve. All albums shipped per USPS Media Mail in a cardboard LP mailer outside of the jacket with cardboard on both sides for protection. I will cover Free Media Mail shipping in the USA. (Contact me for shipping rates outside of the US). If you want shipped differently than Media Mail, you will need to contact me before paying. I will only cover Media Mail. You will be responsible for any taxes. All albums have been kept in a smoke free environment in my possession. Please leave positive feedback after your album has arrived and gets your approval. If for any reason you are not satisfied, please contact me to resolve any issues (partial refund) or a FREE money back return (you pay shipping). I will do my best to describe any flaws seen or heard when grading this album. Each album I list will be graded by Album, Jacket, and Inner Sleeve (if available, no description then the original is missing) in every listing with any flaws. I set my prices based off what this album has sold for over the last couple of months in this condition and the current average asking prices. Quantity available plays factor into pricing also. I do not have a high mark up when listing. You should find my prices to be very reasonably so please do not send low ball offers. These will automatically be rejected so please do not be offended if you get no counter offer back. Send me a message if you have any questions. I always try to take care of repeat customers and anyone buying multiple items. Thank you for looking and enjoy your music! Shipping: 99% of my orders will ship the next day (orders coming in after 10AM on Saturday or all day on Sunday will ship on Monday unless a Holiday, then on Tuesday). Any orders received after 10PM EST Sunday-Thursday will not be packed up until the next day when I get home from work, then shipped the following day. Here is how I grade: MINT- To me, Mint is in perfect condition, so it’s never been played or opened. I only have used vintage original albums that are 30+ years old so I will not list anything as Mint. NEAR MINT-Looks and sounds like new. Near perfect record with at most a couple light hairline scratches or scuffs with no crackling or skips when played. May have a hint of surface noise. Inner sleeve may have a small crease on corner, no fading, very, very light wear on corner/edges, or no splits over a ½ inch. Jacket may have very light edge/corner ware, no fading, or ring wear. EXCELLENT-Near perfect sounding record with very few light scratches or scuffs. May have very light crackling/few pops/surface noise when played between songs or intro. Inner sleeve may have small creases on corners, very light fading, very light wear on corner/edges, or small splits, but overall in excellent condition. Jacket may have very limited markings or very light ring wear with corners/edges slightly scuffed/dinged. VERY GOOD-Record shows some signs of wear with surface scuffs and light scratches, but surface noise/pops can mainly be heard when playing in between songs, intros, or in soft spots. If slightly warped I will leave details. Inner sleeve has some creases, light tears, light ring wear, or have splits (some may have been taped). Jacket shows some wear, light fading, light ring wear, or small creases, but overall looks very good. GOOD-Record plays just fine but has some surface noise and scratches or is slightly warped. May have a couple pops or skips. Inner sleeve has multiple creases, tears, ring wear, or splits on more than one side (some have been taped). Jacket is faded (but readable), may have larger scuff marks, ring wear, corners bent, creases, or some tearing. FAIR/POOR-No albums will be sold in this condition. Only inner sleeve or cover may be in this condition. Please check out my other albums, 45’s and CDs to see if there is anything else you like. Thank you for looking!
