The records have been lightly cleaned. Vinyl is all in sellable condition with little hiss or popping some surface wear - very very listenable items - they all lay flat no warps. I'm not selling something I wouldn't tolerate, or have it come back to haunt me. If there is something distinctly concerning about an album I declare it. Sometimes people want things for just album cover displa.
Album covers may or will show wear - see pictures for s point out specific issues that I want to share
The album covers could have a vintage musk to them - where possible I do lightly wipe down the album covers.
PLEASE READ:
General statement about what is being sold.
The records are all decades old. 30, 40 or 50+ years. Some didn't get the proper handling so there may be surface scratches. If the record is NOT playable - I would not be selling it. There could be intro static on some tracks.
Vinyl is all in good condition possible hiss or popping with some surface wear - very listenable vinyl records
Album cover show wear - see pictures for noticeable specifics.
IMPORTANT: Audiophiles and record resellers - saying this nicely - PLEASE SHOP ELSEWHERE - I'm not looking to get into any discussion, argument or refund over a single tic or click on the 7th track on side 2. I have no interest in comparing what you think the surface condition of the vinyl is. I'm not selling these as audiophile items, or for re-resale, these are being sold because they still play good and are enough to listen to listen to - which in almost ever case if going to be very satisfying. If won't tolerate it - I won't sell it unless for some reason it has some other value making it saleable.
