Dean Martin, Memories are Made of This, 5 record set

$

35

Overall, the disc set is Near Mint, with a few of the discs' sides showing the faintest rub wear; I will rate each disc, each side and note anything as needed:

Disc 1, side 1: NM       Side 2: NM
Disc 2, side 1: NM       Side 2: NM
Disc 3, side 1: NM       Side 2: NM
Disc 4, side 1: NM       Side 2: M
Disc 5, side 1: M          Side 2: M

The cover is complete, and is a nice box with no split corners or seams.  Corners are slightly rub worn.  Only other defect worth noting is that there is a small spot on one of the individual sleeves; this is pictured.  Overall, it is complete, and I rate it EXCELLENT.

I am a person who has fun with eBay, finds cool stuff at estate sales and resells.  I am not an audiophile, and I have not audio tested the records...visual inspection however indicates that these are in very playable condition.  Heck, I don't even own a record player, so I try to describe things as honestly as I can, and give you good pictures to ascertain if the records meet your standards or not; please review all pictures, and ask me any questions you may have prior to purchase!

The album pictured is the one for sale.  I take pride in accurately portraying items for sale, and in having happy customers.  I will be responsive and accommodating in addressing your concerns, including full refunds when justified.  Please purchase with confidence.


================================================
Reference: the rating scales I use, which are eBay standard...

DISC RATING SCALE

MINT (M):  The record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws whatsoever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record appears virtually flawless. A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see.

EXCELLENT (E): Minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches.

VERY GOOD (VG): These discs do not look very good, but plays very good; ie, there is notable physical wear, but minimal loss of audio quality. There will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear well, have been played but still have some luster.

GOOD (G): Will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However, it should still play. It will have surface noise. Such as crackle or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. 

COVER / ARTWORK RATING SCALE

MINT (M):  The record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws whatsoever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers, address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT (NM): Looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT (E): Artwork is as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD (VG): Look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting. There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling, but the cover should not look "snowy" all over. There may be some slight / small writing on the cover. It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air.

GOOD (G): A Good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired).
