5 Misc. artists, radio transcription records from the 1960's. 33 1/3 rpm, black vinyl. These records are 16" in diameter. I would consider the condition of these 5 records to be better than G. They do need a cleaning to remove the light dust acquired over the years. Check on YouTube for instructions on how to clean [wash] records. LOT#1 [ See pictures for titles. Free shipping. Shipped in a specially made box.
Grading: I am NOT an expert on grading records. I do not have a player to listen to them and can only grade by visual inspection. I use the guideline below copied from YouTube.
Excellent [EX] The cover and other items might have slight wear and/or creasing. The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
Very good [VG] Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items is acceptable with no major defects. (a sticker removal mark or writing with pen, for example, will get a VG grading even if the cover is mostly "EX".) The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. There may be noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Good (G) The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration. The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
