Records graded Side A, C and D Ex Side B VG

The records visually look unplayed apart from some scuffing caused by the abrasive texture of the inner sleeves. Upon playing the records I’ve graded them as Ex apart from side B which has been graded as VG; some back ground noise but not obtrusive. The records have been removed from the inner sleeves and placed in poly lined sleeves to prevent damage occurring to the outer sleeve, inner sleeves and records.
