This is a nice collection of 4 vinyl records by U2. It includes original 80s pressings all of their albums from 1983-1988: "War", "The Unforgettable Fire", "The Joshua Tree" and "Rattle And Hum."

All records have been washed in a Spin-Clean and are graded according to Discogs guidelines. See photos for details.

"War" released on Island Records 90067-1 in 1983. Specialty pressing.
Record: VG+. Shiny surface, very little signs of having been played much. A few small hairline marks, mostly on side 2. Nothing that should be audible or cause any skips. Labels are like new.
Jacket: VG+. Some edge wear on spine, a few small discoloration spots on back. No ring wear, split seams or writing.

"The Unforgettable Fire" released on Island Records ‎90231-1 in 1984. Specialty pressing.
Record: VG+. Shiny surface with a few small hairline marks that should not impact play, mostly on side 1. Labels are clean with a very small amount of spindle wear.
Jacket: VG. Would be VG+ except for excessive wear on spine and what appears to be a faint water stain that runs along the spine edge on front and back. There are a couple of minor creases on the spine as well. No seam splits, ring wear or writing. Inner sleeve is in nice shape except for a 3" seam split on the side edge.

"The Joshua Tree" released on Island Records ‎90581-1 in 1987.
Record: VG. Shiny surface, almost VG+ with just a few too many hairline marks. There is some wear on both sides but more on side 2. Nothing that should cause any skips and not deep enough to feel with a fingernail. Labels are both clean with no issues.
Jacket: VG+. Strong graphics, no ring wear or split seams. There are some shallow scratches on the front panel that are only visible when viewed at an angle. Spine has some edge wear in the center and on corners. Back panel has a few small brown marks. Inside gatefold is beautiful with no significant issues. Inner lyric sheet is in great shape with very little wear.

"Rattle And Hum" double album released on Island Records ‎91003-1 in 1988.
Records: VG+. Both LPs look almost unplayed, save for a stray hairline mark on sides 1 and 4. All playing surfaces are shiny with almost no signs of wear. All 4 labels are in excellent shape, with a few light spindle marks mostly on sides 3 and 4.
Jacket: VG+. Very nice condition, crisp with a little surface wear, mostly on the spine and edges. Very faint start of ring wear on front and back. No split seams or writing. Inner sleeves are clean with no writing, seam splits or creases. Side 3/4 inner sleeve has some ripples from moisture on spine side.

LPs will be shipped via Media Mail with the records stored in plain sleeves outside of the jackets to avoid seam splits. See my feedback and buy with confidence!
