I'm listing my record collection, that I put together during my days when I was a passionate record collector, from 1968 through to roughly 1982. They were usually purchased at the time of the release of the album and in the main are first pressings.These LP's are all from my collection. Because some of the LP's were stolen I used to record them onto tape, however, this doesn't mean they're unplayed records, but it also means they haven't been played excessively either. The albums have been carefully stored, unplayed, for thirty years when inevitably I was no longer so passionate about music.


The vinyl is a deep shiny black with some inevitable very fine superficial hairlines visible from scrutiny when caught under bright light on each side.
All four sides play with only minor surface noise evident at the starts and in some of the quieter passages or some times in the separation tracks. Occasional click though very little deterioration in sound quality at all - sounds tremendous.
The sleeve is aesthetically stunning. It has some ring wear to the front and rear sleeve.
The inner record sleeves are again in tremendous condition, 


EDIT:
I have been asked if I would grade the records. I'm not a professional record seller and although perceptions/opinions are always going to vary - I do see the point in grading them. I have to admit I really didn't know about the system so my apologies all round for not grading before.

I'd class this record as Excellent and the cover  Excellent plus - using these guide lines below:

Record Grading:   MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.    EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.   VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.   GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.   FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.



Cover Grading:
MINT:The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD:Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
