These are all great titles and includes classics from Aretha Franklin, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, The Rolling Stones, Bill Withers, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Queen and others.

GRADING is guaranteed.  
Any record that is not graded as described will be refunded once returned IN THE CONDITION IN WHICH IT WAS SHIPPED.  I handle all shipping and packaging myself and review and photograph each record before shipping.  Therefore, I don't make mistakes on grades, but I will accept your word.  Just package carefully and return.  Contact me first.  I want you to love the records you buy from me.

ABOUT ME
I am an audiophile collector, not a dealer.  I want to own original pressings for their history but I also want to listen to the music as it was originally intended to be heard.
All records sold are ones that I have acquired for my personal collection and have decided to sell. Most are duplicates to ones I already own or titles that I no longer have an interest in hearing.  All records are collector's quality (VG+, EX, NM, Sealed).  I have not interest in selling you a worthless records.  

GRADING is Goldmine.
Mint - Only sealed and verified UNPLAYED records.  No real need to use it.  I will identify these records as SEALED or NM UNPLAYED.
NM - Full gloss.  No marks visible other than factory marks.  No needle marks or sleeve scuffs.
EX (VG++) - As good as NM for any collector who wants to listen to the records, but may have just a very few, very superficial marks that do NOT (and in theory, could not) affect play.  
VG+ - A perfect player once properly cleaned but may have a few more superficial marks or smudges.  Superficial marks do not affect play  The music is not on the top of the disc but in the grooves.  Records that have some superficial marks from use are also likely to have dust and grime in the grooves.  The pops you are hearing on these records are from the debris.  WET CLEAN YOUR RECORDS with a good, safe solution and a vacuum machine for best results.
VG records and below have enough damage to the vinyl (groove damage, deep scratches) to affect play and the enjoyment of the record.  They are not collection quality.  I do NOT sell them.
