This is a collection of records by Pink Floyd that are in shabby condition and I am selling as a "junk lot" for the new owner to use as they see fit. If you're buying these records to play them expect skips, repeats and lots of "snap crackle and pop" but don't expect them to sound good (with one exception).
I actually did test Wish You Were Here and it played all the way through with no skips or repeats, but there was plenty of surface noise during the soft passages and in between tracks. There were no dramatic pops or ticks that I noticed. I tested this record because it looks really good by comparison, but the jacket should probably be discarded due to water damage and mold. I'll send it to you, but if you think that you rather not receive it let me know and I'll leave out of the shipment.
These records have NOT been play-tested so the grades that you see below for each record are visual grades only. All records were inspected under a strong direct light source.
Wish You Were Here:
Vinyl is VG (light hairline scratches)
Jacket is F (water damage and mold)
Inner Sleeve is missing
Animals:
Vinyl is VG (many tiny hairline scratches and in desperate need of cleaning)
Jacket is VG (lost of shelf wear but no splits, rips or creases)
Inner Sleeve is VG (lots of creasing - no rips, but there is the beginning of a split on the bottom seam)
Dark Side of the Moon:
Vinyl is G+ (hairline scratches on side two and deep scratches on side one- needs a good cleaning)
Jacket is G+ (some wear and gouges but no splits, rips or creases - the glue is loose on the bottom edge)
The Wall:
Vinyl is G+ (many scratches and scuffs)
Jacket is VG (some wear but no splits or rips. There is a corner "drop crease" on the upper right corner)
Inner Sleeve is VG/F (side 1/2 has a tiny split on the bottom seam - side 3/4 is mostly split with only three corners barely holding on).
Atom Heart Mother:
Vinyl is G+ (many scratches - deep and hairline)
Jacket is VG (edge wear only - this jacket is nearly VG+)
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.
