Hello, thanks for looking. I'm no expert on grading vinyl, i'll try my best to evaluate the condition of both the cover and the album. I'll use the grading scale below as a guide and i'll be very conservative with my evaluation, Keep in mind I am only visually assessing the condition of the jacket and vinyl. I encourage you to ask questions, before biding, I will answer honestly. Good Luck!!! - Jason
 

CONDITION- Jacket: VG  / Vinyl: VG

The Jacket / Sleeve: I'm hoping the pictures can speak for the grade: VG It is Solid & Stiff, there are some small surface scratches (nothing crazy), The spine is in OK shape and the print is a centered and legible, small amount of burn & record ring / halo, corners are slightly rounded with age, little blemishes here and there, few inches of seam splitting and a small hole worn on bottom seam (see Photo), Gold Record Award Sicker on the front, Gatefold is in great shape, Nothing Major to report for the jacket, pictures tell the story.

Inner Paper Sleeve:  It's the original picture paper AD sleeves... Both in Good condition, some small seam splitting and corner see photo. 

The vinyl:  VG Overall. Both records look good, you'll see Light surface scratches not deep, minor cosmetic dull mark here, maybe a few small nicks/dings, the 2nd album is probably G+ to VG and the 1st album is VG+ ,  overall It doesn't look like there is anything that will impact playback more than occasional pops and snaps. all label's are good.

Nice copy, but if you still have questions please message me.

• All records are shipped correctly in a 12 X 12 Record mailer, (with the record out of the jacket - to prevent damage to the jacket) and in a plastic dust cover, with extra cardboard and foam support. 
  

• I do free combine shipping! So if you're think about buying a second or third album, I combine ship for free UP to 4 albums (2 Double LPs) total.  After that I might need a second box (but if you wanna buy that many I'll pay for the second shipping cost)
  

• All overseas Shipping will dill be done thru eBay international shipping program. No exceptions.
  

Thanks for looking, please message me with any questions! 

Grading Scale:

Mint (M): Perfect, unused in sealed original packaging.

Near-Mint (NM): Close to perfect with no visible scratches or scuffs. Appears to be un-played or played less than 5 times.

Excellent (EX): May contain 1 or 2 very tiny & light  cosmetic surface scratches and/or scuffs. Label and jacket may show slight signs of ring-wear / lightly bent corners. No creases, writing, tears or rips.

Very Good Plus (VG+): May show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took reasonably good care of it. Imperfections are cosmetic and do not drastically impact the playback. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs and surface scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are ok. The label and jacket may have some slight ring ring-wear, discoloration, minor tears and imperfections. As with most vinyl, there may be low-level surface noise and light crackles and pops may be present, especially during quiet or soft passages in the track.  

Very Good (VG): Many of the imperfections found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record or sleeve.

Good (G) - It doesn't mean the record is "Trashed" but its definitely been played a lot. I'll mainly use this for jackets and inner sleeves (if the record is worth selling).

Fair (F) Poor (P): I do not sell Poor (P), Fair (F). If I use these it's because the album is super rare. 

Disclaimer : I do not grade LPs professionally and I am not an expert on classification. Some of the vinyl I own, I bought in bulk at yard sales or estate sales. Ask Me Questions before bidding! Please understand, I'm grading my LPs on a visual estimation. Keep that in mind, because if you bid or buy this album, I'm selling it as is. If you're really interested in this record and you think the description & photo's are missing something, Message Me! Ask questions, I will answer honestly, I will send more photo's. I'm not trying to scare away a potential customer, I'm just saying, please consider everything I said before asking for a refund. Look, there is some risk when buying used 30 - 60 year old, pre owned, vinyl? together we can cut down on that risk even eliminate it! Thanks for looking!!!
