All records are free of skips and repeats. Every title was played in its entirety and assessed carefully. All records were inspected under a strong direct light source.
I didn't clean any of the titles before spinning them (I usually do) so I suspect that a proper cleaning will greatly improve their sound beyond my report.

Zenyatta Mondatta (this is a US club pressing):
Vinyl is VG+ (occasional faint surface noise between tracks an during softer passages) Jacket is VG++
Inner Sleeve is VG (short splits on all seams - about 3 inches).
Outlandos D'Amour:
Vinyl is VG (no deep scratches but some barely visible hairline scratches and sleeve marks)
Jacket is VG (some wear but no splits, rips or creases though there is a promo notch noted in a detail pic)
Inner Sleeve is VG+ (all seams in tact).
Regatta De Blanc:
Vinyl is VG+ (this record looks nearly perfect so a good cleaning may be all it needs to sound NM)
Jacket is VG (some wear but no splits, rips or creases)
Inner Sleeve is VG+ (split on one side seam (about 1.5 inches), but the other side seam is in tact. The bottom has the beginning of a split).
Ghost In The Machine:
Vinyl is VG (light but audible surface noise between tracks an during softer passages)
Jacket is VG (some wear but no splits, rips or creases)
Inner Sleeve is VG (no splits on side seams, but the bottom seam has a 3" split).
Synchronicity:
Vinyl is VG+ (occasional faint surface noise between tracks an during softer passages)
Jacket is VG+ (some very minor wear but no splits, rips or creases)
Inner Sleeve is VG (no split on one side seam, but the bottom and other side seam has a 3" split and one has a tiny rip less than 1cm).
please see grading descriptions below

Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jackets.
Your records will be shipped in a cardboard LP mailer and wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in the inner sleeve outside of it so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit. If the record has a unique picture sleeve the record will be placed in a generic sleeve for shipping.

If you have any special packing requests contact me BEFORE making payment so that I can adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Please do not bother to send me a message with packing instructions after payment as it will be disregarded.

REGARDING SHIPPING: The default shipping option that you see is Media Mail which is inexpensive, but sometimes unpredictable with no guaranteed delivery time. I have shipped over 1000 records using Media Mail without any hassles, but there have been a few instances where the record took a month to arrive and was stuck at a sorting facility for two or more weeks. If you want a faster method with a guaranteed delivery time I suggest that you choose the Priority Mail option.

Grading System Definitions:
Mint (M) - Perfect condition. Completely clean, no marks and unplayed. Almost only used for factory sealed items. Occasionally used for open, unplayed records.
Near Mint / Excellent (NM/EX) - Nearly perfect with shiny gloss, plays perfectly with no imperfections. Typically only played a few times or less. Cover will have no more than very minor imperfections, showing only signs of slight handling. Covers 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+) - 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) - 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.
Good (G) - The record 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. 
Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
