Lot of 20 LPs and Singles from a DJ's collection. All from the 1980s, they are a mix of Funk/Soul, Reggae, and early Hip Hop.
Vinyl Condition These records have been very well taken care of. I have cleaned all of them and visually graded them as EX to NM condition (they either appear unplayed or have some paper scuffs or 1 or 2 hairline marks when viewed under a bright light). The exception are 2 records in VG+ condition (a few marks, they may play as EX) that are marked below. I did double check my visual grading by playing a handful of them and the visual grade checked out.
Outer Sleeve Condition The jackets are a different story. I thoroughly wiped down and cleaned all the jackets but they have been in storage since around 1990. The average jacket grade is probably around VG, but I have made a note next to the album anytime the jacket was below VG or above VG+. Most records are in a picture sleeve or else a company sleeve. A few of the promos and 12" singles are in generic sleeves, but it looks like anything that originally had a picture sleeve still has it.
List of titles is below. I have listed the two VG+ vinyl first, the remaining 18 are in the EX to NM range. Also made a note of any jackets/outer sleeves outside of the VG to VG+ range.
