Please read this entire listing. The records you are bidding on have been cleaned by hand and placed in a white paper inner sleeve if they didn’t have the original (about half will include a plastic outer sleeve too). You are bidding on vinyl records from my personal ongoing collection (started in 1976). See my other auctions for more great vinyl.  

This lot you are bidding on have been visually inspected only. They rate from F to VG+, with the majority leaning toward VG. Some have scratches and discoloration but no bad warps or spooning. The covers are in G to VG+ condition. I’m sure that some of these LP’s have skips just by looking at them but most should play through just fine.  

ARTISTS -  

Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Steve Miller, Eric Clapton, Carly Simon, Cat Stevens, Dusty Springfield, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, ZZ Top, Bob Seger, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Baby’s, J Geils Band, Foreigner, Styx, .38 Special, Billy Joel, Neil Young, Rod Stewart, The Eagles and Chicago.  

VINYL RATING – F to VG+   

COVER RATING – G to VG+
 

Any questions, just ask. I rate loosely using the Goldmine Scale (Please see below for my grading explanations and terminology).  

RATINGS  

Mint 10/10 – Vinyl still sealed, new in its original shrink wrap.  

NM 9/10– Vinyl may have a light pop or tick here and there.  

EX 8/10 - May have light pops and ticks throughout that aren’t readily noticeable, except between tracks or during soft passages.    

VG+ 7/10 - May have light pops and ticks throughout and/or moderate pops, ticks or crackle here and there that are noticeable during playback but shouldn’t distract from the music.    

VG 6/10 – Along with possible light noise throughout, moderate ticks, pops or crackle as well, apparent during playback, but not overtaking the music. In my experience, the majority of vintage vinyl rates VG.    

VG- 5/10 – Along with possible light to moderate noise throughout, loud pops, ticks or crackle present here and there, noticeable during playback.    

G 4/10 – Loud popping, cracking or crackle throughout, heard during playback.  

F 3/10 – Loud popping, cracking or crackle throughout, overtaking the music.  

P 2/10 – Records that may have label value only.  

F 1/10 – Vinyl that, when you put it on your turntable, you fly right back to take it off because you just know it’s about to tear your needle right off the tone arm. If you lived in the shadow of a mountain, I always thought you could use these to shingle a house with or maybe play Frisbee with your dog. I guess I try to find a silver lining in everything though.
