Billy Bragg
Back to Basics Go! Discs AGODP 8 UK 1987
Original UK issue, the variant without the Chrysalis logo on the labels. I bought this second hand in 2001 and hardly played it, certainly not for the last twenty years, so it's in the same condition now as it was then and has been stored carefully. Cleaned with Vinyl Clear cleaning solution and play graded. 
Vinyl grade - visual: VG/VG+. Most of the records are VG+, with numerous hairlines that don't affect play. However, there is a scratch on Side One along much of tracks 5 and 6 (see photo), so this downgrades the overall rating to VG.  
Vinyl grade - audio: VG/VG+. As with the visual grading, the records mainly play as VG+, with just a little light crackle here and there but mostly free of any deficiencies. But there are a few pops/clicks on Side One Track 3, and Track 5 & 6, the latter a result of the aforementioned scratch. This doesn't overwhelm the music and is much better than the visual appearance of the scratch would suggest, but does drop the overall rating to VG.   
Sleeve grade: VG, almost VG+. Structurally the sleeve is VG+, with no tears, seam splits, fraying or writing. But it does have minor corner, edge and cover wear, minor ring wear, minor creasing, some marks and some discolouration, especially along the edges (see last four photos for detail). It just looks a bit visually 'tired', so overall I'd go with VG but it's probably somewhere between that and VG+. 
Inner sleeve grade: VG+. Very minor creasing/indentation left by the edges of the records and the centre labels.
Shipped in strong mailer with cardboard stiffeners. Records inside their inners removed from jacket to prevent damage during transit, and all placed in clear plastic resealable sleeve.
