These LPs were pressed using the legendary audiophile process DIRECT METAL MASTERING, better known as DMM, using original Master Tapes in the process (if Toshiba only had used original Master Tape sources for their 1983 DMM TOJP-60000s series, instead of a Digital Mastering from a Digitally ReMastered source, the albums might have met a greater success. That's where the failure came!)
Conservatively i would grade the vinyls near mint (NM); no visible hairline scratch, no visible spindle marks, just plain gorgeous! These were never played at all. They come with the original poly lined sleeves.  The jacket is a gatefold. Graded Excellent (EX) because of some scuffs/bends here and there. Middle, top and bottom spines are intact. Scuffs on corners; jacket openings or mouth is in excellent condition.
        
NOTES ABOUT DMM:  With DIRECT METAL MASTERING, the groove is cut directly in copper metal. High frequency loss, distortion and pre-echo associated with conventional lacquer mastering are eliminated and transient response is greatly improved. DMM record pressing sound brighter, cleaner, more detailed, with 15% more playing time than with lacquer technology. Stampers are plated directly from the DMM Copper Master, eliminating two of the three plating steps required for lacquers. In short, DMM yields better detail resolution and lower  noise  (for vinyl, DMM sounds closer to the MASTER TAPE than any other system of cutting).
