Description
I'm selling copies of Fleetwood Mac's self-titled debut and Rumours together.
1) Self-titled: Vinyl is rated as VG. Side 1 is close to VG+ and Side 2 is a solid VG. Both sides have some light marks and shallow scratches. Labels are great. Two-sided lyric sheet is whole and wrinkle-free but does have a two small tears. The textured outer sleeve is graded as very good, but on the bottom end of the spectrum. There are some discoloration marks, perhaps from moisture but there's no warping to the cover. Some areas of the back cover were marred after I assume they got stuck to another record. (see photos). The seams and spine are in fine shape.
2) Rumours: Vinyl is rated as VG. Labels are clean aside from Side 1 having some initials written on it. Photo/lyrics insert in great shape. Textured sleeve is graded as VG. There's very slight ring wear. Some wear on the upper seam, lower spine and on the lower part of front cover. No splits. Small set of initials written in lower-righthand corner.
Please ask any questions before bidding.
I do combine shipping; see my other auctions. $4.25 media for the first LP and $1 for each LP thereafter. Double LP sets could as 2 LPs.

Very Good (VG)
VG records are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money.
VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
