Blues records are often quite worn due to being loved and often played by their owners. I listened to a bit of each record on a VV 1-80 and will describe as best I can faults, and how volume of music compares to noise. See the pics too. It's just my opinion though so records are sold as is with no returns. Records will be shipped Media Mail at buyers expense (can't insure) unless something different is requested.
