Chicago LP Lot Chicago Transit Authority,  III, VI, VIII, X, XI, Hot Streets, 13. Condition is Used.

This is a lot of 8 albums with 10 lps. All albums have been cleaned by a Loricraft Record Cleaning machine using Mobile Fidelity cleaning products.  The album conditions are as described below but please examine the photos closely as they form an important part of the description.  I try to be as objective and transparent with my evaluations as possible.  I hope you appreciate my candidness.

Chicago VI: Album cover is a strong VG+.  It comes with the original inner sleeve.  The album itself is VG+ with good color.
Chicago VIII:  The album cover is VG to VG+ with some edge wear and slight ring wear.  Comes with a NON-ORIGINAL inner sleeve.  the vinyl itself is VG+ with a few scuffs and hairlines that results in only slight surface noise.

Hot Streets:  Album cover is in Excellent condition with only the slightest signs of ring wear.  The album comes with the original inner sleeve.  The vinyl is also in Excellent condition.
Chicago X:  Album cover is in VG+ condition with some visible ring wear.  Refer to photos.  It comes with the original inner sleeve.  The vinyl is also in VG+ condition with some slight hairline marks.
Chicago XI: The album cover is in Excellent condition with slight edge wear.  It comes with the original inner sleeve.  The vinyl itself is a strong VG+, close to Excellent.

Chicago 13: Album cover is in Excellent condition.  It comes with the original inner sleeve.  The vinyl is also in Excellent condition.

Chicago Transit Authority:  Album cover is VG with obvious ring wear, a small amount of writing on one side and other imperfections.  Please refer to the photos.  This album has two LPs.  Both LPs are VG- with numerous hairlines that result in quite a bit of surface noise.  It does play all the way through and sometimes sounds quite good but other times there is quite a bit of surface noise.  You should not buy this record lot because of this album.  You should buy it for the albums that are VG+ and Excellent with this album being a bonus.  This is a shame since this album is an early pressing with the Columbia 360 label and probably sounded great when it was produced.
Chicago III: The album cover is VG with some fading, a little writing on one side and some slight ring wear.  It comes with the original
inner sleeves.  Like Chicago Transit Authority this album has two LPs and unfortunately like that album both LPs have numerous marks that results in significant surface noise.  They play all the way through but you should buy this record lot for the 6 albums that are in VG+ or Excellent condition and not this album.  Consider this album a bonus

Starting price is $15 which is less than $3 per LP that is in VG+ or Excellent condition which I think is very fair.
Thanks for looking.
