Please note visual grading only on the black vinyl, covers are shown in pictures and vary from really good to good/acceptable, see all pictures for this.

They have been sourced from all different places and visually graded by collector (too generously imo) so I have gone to the Discogs grading system from looking at most and have copied that at the bottom of this listing.

They have not been played for ages, and will need a good wipe/clean with a damp cloth and record cleaning fluid before playing to improve on any background sound. The is a mixture of solid and large hole centres so an adapter will be needed for some.

Most have all been in plastic covers for decades, but they all differ in quality when they were purchased. Ie some may have writing/blemishes on label, may have markings/writing on back they isn't in photos.

I have already sold many set of records on ebay and have had good feedback, so I am confident of this collection that the grading (being visual only) is going to be roughly in the right bracket
(some may delight some may disappoint, chance your take, selling cheaply in bulk).

Please don’t buy this, if you are not prepared to spend a little time with a damp cloth and record cleaning fluid or use a machine as they are old and unplayed for decades and may need a little tlc

As these are varying from VG to VG+ grade, (they will have scratches, some may or may not affect sound, some may improve with a good cleaning machine, If there are particular singles you are absolutely relying on to be great in sound/label/Cover condition then best to buy these albums individually elsewhere.

But this is a great way to buy many single’s for a bargain, maybe you want a 2nd copy to use elsewhere like a mancave etc. or introduce your son or daughter to a more enjoyable way of playing music via a turntable.

Discogs grading: (Please note though that I have only graded on the VISUAL BLACK VINYL GROOVES (not the label/cover, or sound)

Near Mint (NM or M-) - Vinyl

A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.

Very Good Plus (VG+) - Vinyl

Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

Very Good (VG) - Vinyl

Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price.  

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) - Vinyl 

Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
