Selling Vintage copies of Van Halen I and II
 
Van Halen I: The Cover has a slight bit of ring wear and white showing in the edges and corners (Very Good +).  Inner sleeve looks excellent.  The record sounds great in my opinion (Excellent). Really cleaned up nicely. Very low noise.  Occasional pop or tick between songs. Songs all sound great. A really good listen; plays excellent all the way through.
 
Van Halen II: Cover Good condition. Record Very Good using Goldmine standards (which means it is a well-worn record).  Cover: Edge wear and worn.  Seam is slightly split on the back edge.  Inner sleeve has splits.  Record has a lot of hairline scratches and scuffs; it was hard to show hairlines and scuffs in the pictures.  Plays pretty good based on its appearance.  Crackles and pops before, after songs and in quite sections but not noticeable during full volume sections.  I played through on my turntable (proper weight on stylus, measured with a Shure stylus gauge) and no skips.
 
Both records wet/vacuum cleaned with a Record Doctor 6 record cleaner.  I will ship in a record mailer with plastic outer and inner sleeves.
 
I am not a professional record grader.  I gave my best honest descriptions and provided plenty of pictures.  I am a collector but have purchased many records and lots going back 50 years.  Just looking to unload some of my extra copies, while keeping my better copies.   I am not offering a return; too expensive to ship things back and forth these days.  Please look carefully at the pictures and read the descriptions.
