The Vinyl Records are graded as follows: side 1/2/3/4

Play graded: NM-/EX/EX/NM-

Visually graded: EX+/VG+/VG+/EX+

The vinyls play with very limited background, and very few isolated ticks...a few light spindle drag marks on the vinyls, which are only esthetic and do not detract from the playback quality...

NO SKIPS, NO JUMPS, NO Distracting POPS!!

All of the tracks on these LP's play between EX and NM-!!

The record labels are in beautiful unworn and unmarked condition!!

This WHITE ALBUM is complete!

Includes:

All 4 individual PHOTOS - Near Mint Condition! Printed on heavier material

22"x33" Photo collage/lyrics POSTER - Excellent condition with solid seams and no tears!! The poster is also printed on the heavier paper, not the typical light-weight flimsy stock usually found with these albums.

Also includes the original paper innersleeves.

Fantastic Overall Playback!

Awesome Sonics!!
