RECORD 1 
VG+ 
SIDE 1 HAS 10-15 VERY LIGHT SLEEVESCUFFS WHEN SEEN IN DIRECT LIGHT.   ONE SLIGHT FEELABLE SCRATCH ON "OVERTURE" AND A LOW CLICK APPEARS BUT YOU ALMOST CANT HEAR IT.  LABEL HAS MARKS AROUND CENTERHOLE WHICH ARE SEEN IN DIRECT LIGHT.  LITTLE SURFACE NOISE DOES APPEAR - AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK AUDIO!!
SIDE 4 HAS 10-15 VERY LIGHT SLEEVESCUFFS TOO BUT NO FEELABLE ONES.  LABEL HAS MARKS AROUND CENTERHOLE WHEN SEEN IN DIRECT LIGHT. LITTLE SURFACE NOISE DOES APPEAR - AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK AUDIO!!
RECORD 2 
VG+  RECORD 2 HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN PLAYED AS MUCH AS RECORD 1
SIDE 2 HAS 8-10 FAINT HAIRLINES WHEN SEEN IN DIRECT LIGHT. PLAYS WITH A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE.  SOME DEEP CLEANING COULD MAYBE HELP WITH THE SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE.  LABEL HAS MARKS AROUND CENTERHOLE WHEN SEEN IN DIRECT LIGHT. 
SIDE 3 HAS 10-15 LIGHT HAIRLINES WHEN SEEN IN DIRECT LIGHT.  AT THE END OF "GO TO THE MIRROR" IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN PUT TOO MUCH WEIGHT ON THE NEEDLE - LEAVING MARKS BUT NO AFFECT ON SOUND.  SAME THING IN THE MIDDLE OF "SMASH THE MIRROR". LABEL HAS MARKS AROUND CENTERHOLE. PLAYS WITH LIGHT SURFACE NOISE. 
BOOKLET IS VG++ JUST A FEW SPOTS ON FRONT AND VERY SLIGHT CREASING. 
INNERSLEEVES ARE VG+ WITH NO SPLITS - BUT A LITTLE CREASING.

Shipping :

WAIT FOR INVOICE!!

Europe : 15 dollars

Rest of the world :  20 dollars

Payment within 3 days from invoice sent -If you need more time - Contact me.

If I do not recieve payment within 3 days and no attempt has been made to contact me - I will report to ebay as "no payment recieved"

Ukranian Postal service are not very good at handling packages - I have experienced that records had received damages when shipping to that destination.  

Shipping to Russia can be very slow - expect arrival anytime between 7 days to 2 months.... most times it goes much faster than that.

I have never experienced that a buyer did not recieve his or her record..
