Discs - 'Excellent minus'
Lovely glossy vinyl, with some fine scuffs & hairlines, one or two more noticeable marks.
Clean labels with little sign of spindle-wear - see photos.
Plays very well, with very little surface noise, some crackle at the start of each side, and the occasional soft pop. No skips.
Sleeve - 'Excellent minus'
The fully-laminated gatefold outer is clean, no splits, no major creases, no major laminate-lifts, no ink.
The spine is legible, but a bit crushed; there's some ring-wear & a small tear bottom right front - see photos.
The inserts are missing; there are a matching pair of original? white paper no-hole inners which are OK, no rips, splits, ink, one creased.
Will supply with 2 new poly-lined paper inners.

Condition Guide
I use the Record Collector's Magazine's Grading Guide - which is also the ebay standard - to describe the condition of records.

"MINT - M: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT - Ex: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD - VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD - G: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

Note - I don't use 'Mint' as a description - and I don't sell less-than-'Good'.
