Condition: The records have been carefully inspected under bright light and graded  based on the Goldmine Records grading scale. They have  also been play  tested to ensure sound quality. Grading Scale: SS, M, NM, E+, E, VG+, VG, G, F/P; +/- Vinyl: (VG+ to E+) All sides have a very few light superficial marks visible under bright light. Side 4 has 3 deeper marks in the same area that causes some audible ticks during playback of track 1, 2, 3, and 6. Besides Side 4, all sides look NM under normal light. Side 4 is VG+. All other sides are E+. All vinyl are super shiny with excellent original gloss. The records look hardly played. Labels: (NM) Side 3 has about 4 small light marks. Otherwise, all labels are very clean with no visible marks. Cover Sleeves/Artwork: (VG+) The plain white sleeves have some bending, impression marks, discoloring, and some small tears at the top edges. There are no splits or writing on the sleeves. Playback: All records play with a hint of light crackle and some with a few  light ticks that do not overpower the music. Side 4 has a few noticeable ticks  during tracks 1, beginning of 2, first half of 3, and the last third of 6 due to  an area with three deeper marks. A deeper clean would help clear up the light  crackle and occasional light ticks. Overall playback is clear and quiet with  excellent sound quality.
