(NOTE THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER HAS ATTACHED A CHRISTMAS THEMED STICKER ON EACH SIDE COVERING PART OF THE LABEL; NONETHELESS, IT IS EASY TO DETERMINE WHO MADE THE ALBUM. I THINK THE STICKERS COULD BE REMOVED IF ONE WAS CAREFUL DOING SO.)
PHOTOS SHOWS EACH RECORD IN THE ORDER DESCRIBED ABOVE; FRONT SIDE (SIDE A) FIRST FOLLOWED BY REVERSE SIDE (SIDE B) SECOND IS SHOWN FOR EACH RECORD
NOTE THAT MANY OF THE DETAILS DESCRIBING THE ABOVE RECORDS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE DISCOGS WEBSITE WHERE INFORMATION ON JUST ABOUT EVERY RECORD EVER RECORDED CAN BE FOUND.
ALL THE RECORDS ARE IN VERY GOOD TO NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION HAVING SPENT THEIR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IN PAPER SLEEVES WITHIN A BOUND ALBUM. THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED VERY LITTLE. MOST ARE COMPLETELY SCRATCH FREE (EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS THE LAST RECORD WHICH SHOWS SOME VERY SMALL, LIGHT SCRATCHES). THEY COULD USE CLEANING WHICH I DID NOT TRY AND DO. THE RECORD ALBUM ITSELF IS NOT IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. SOME OF THE PAPER SLEEVES ARE FALLING APART. SOME ARE ALSO LOOSE, TORN AND WORN AT THE BOTTOM ALLOWING THE RECORD TO BE SLIGHTLY VISIBLE AT THE BOTTOM. ALSO, THE BINDING IS LOOSE. THE ALBUM, HOWEVER, WILL SERVE AS A GOOD HOLDER FOR SHIPPING. I WILL WRAP THE ALBUM TIGHTLY WITH PLASTIC WRAP SO THE ALBUMS CAN MOVE LITTLE DURING SHIPPING.
