I played every title all the way through and I'm happy to report that they are all free of skips and repeats. You will find a more detailed report of each title's playback quality below, but in general they all play really well. These came from the collection of a Madonna collector that bought lots of records and CDs that never got played. A couple of the ones with NM grades most likely were never played before I tested them.
Ray of Light:
Vinyl is NM
Jacket is VG+ (see pics)
Material Girl: Vinyl is EX
Jacket is VG++
Cherish: Vinyl is VG+
Jacket is VG+ (cover has two staple holes not evident in the pics)
True Blue: Vinyl is EX
Jacket is EX
American Pie: Vinyl is VG+**
Jacket is VG++ 
** Grading American Pie was tricky: Tracks A1, A2, and B1 play at a NM grade, but track B2 plays at a VG grade.  I suspect that B2 was played regularly (it's the original LP version) and the remaining tracks were never played.
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 2000 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.

My Grading System Definitions:
NM -  10/10 playback quality. Record is open, but sounds like new
EX -   9/10 playback quality. Might have a minor playback disruption or two, but nearly perfect in playback otherwise
VG++ 8/10 playback quality. Will have more minor disruptions than EX but still really good playback
VG+ - 7/10 playback quality. Will have light surface noise between tracks and maybe during fades and softer passages
VG   - 6/10 playback quality. Will have evident surface noise between tracks and softer passages/fades, but won't disrupt the listening experience most of the time. Might have ticks as well.
VG- - 5/10 playback quality. Will have obvious surface noise all the time, but not necessarily ticks or pops.
G+  - 4/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with some pops and ticks
G    - 3/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with plenty of pops and ticks
F    - 2/10 will have skips and likely be very crackly with ticks and pops. Likely warped as well.
W   - 1/10 will have skips and/or repeats. Will have lots of "snap crackle and pop" and probably warped as well.
