Lot of 2 rare XTC LPs. The Vinyl is VISUALLY Graded on all sides: ALL sides look near-mint and look VERY CLEAN, and possibly unplayed,
though we did spot-check Disc 2, A-side, Track 1 of the 2nd Album: "We're All Light" because there's a light cosmetic surface scuff across the first half of the song,  but it's completely inaudible. Clean labels on all records in this lot. No obvious spindle marks on any labels. Excellent condition original custom innersleeves included, and they're all in VG++ condition  with some minor compression, and very minor soft creasing in a few spots. The spine and seams are intact on all sleeves. Jackets are also in VG++ "Excellent" condition, with only a minor crease on the spine of the second LP: you can see a close-up in our embedded picasaweb image gallery, scroll down below the tracklisting and credits. Vinyl is THICK AND HEAVY! The first album comes with a small XTC postcard: image is in the gallery. In order to prevent any crushing of the spines,  and to prevent seam-splitting in transit, or added compression, the empty innersleeves are inside their respective jackets, and the vinyl is inside plain paper sleeves, in turn placed in generic plain jackets, and 2 of the 3 are sandwiched inside the gatefold jacket to keep the spine intact.  In addition, we're using EXTRA filler stiffener pads to protect  the corners from bending or damage in transit, and the outer LP box will be tightly taped to insure as much protection; The shipping weight will be higher as a result: just under 4 pounds.
