They have been played  but remain Ex or VG+  in most cases, clearly each album is/will be graded according to the ebay guidelines below and unless otherwise stated will be played through prior to listing. Please do also view the pictures for further detail and read the descriptions below. 

Overall Condition: Ex/VG.  Rare first release copy of fair weather's album on the highly collectible, short lived, Neon label with iconic NE1 catalogue number. Not a pristine copy, see below, but a very decent one of a rare album and surely of interest to fair weather fans and Neon collectors alike plus started a very modest price for it.  Music is pretty good too!

Cover:  VG   The first issue fully laminated cover which overall is in excellent condition but 'marred' by some sticker damage to the front of the cover and a little ringwear to bottom of the rear cover. light edge wear to spine but  this is perfectly whole and readable with no tears or splits, inner cover of the gatefold is excellent
Vinyl:  EX looks very  nice with full shine, almost no visible hairlines and plays beautifully!
Label: EX  Both sides are clean without blemish and no spindle marks
Inner sleeve: Original black paper/poly liner , little worse for wear! some fraying and one edge has been repaired with sellotape (neatly)

All items graded using the ebay guide as below but please do view the pictures for details and if you wish for any others I will try to respond to request. 
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. 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 record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing; 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. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable; GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc; FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced; POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing; BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
