$

30

This is a 12-LP set of Chicago albums, half of which are American pressings and half of which are Japanese.  I bought the Japanese albums off a used rack while in Japan in 1994.  They are in excellent condition and contain all the inserts, Japanese language Bio sheets and posters which are all in great shape.  These discs have been graded according to the Goldmine grading system (Vinyl Grade \ Jacket Grade) and are as follows, as well as some notes:
Chicago Transit Authority  CBS/Sony 25AP 614-5  Japan  1969  NM\VG+ No Obi strip, Bio sheet perfect.  Jacket is NM, except for scrape on bottom makes VG+.  Scuff on lead-in Record 1 Side 2, no effect on play.  Extremely clean; plays like a Mint record.
Chicago II  Columbia  KGP24 CS9977  (Inner Jacket # G2 33258/PG24)  USA  1976  VG+\VG+ This record is not possible to identify in online databases and says "For Governmental Sale Only" on back of jacket.  Plays mostly NM.
Chicago III  CBS/Sony  SONP 50360~1  Japan  1971  VG+\VG+ Hairline scratch Record 2 Side B - no effect.  No Obi strip, Bio sheet in great shape.  Inner lyrics sleeves included and in good condition, but with moderate seam splits on bottom.
Chicago V  Columbia  KC 31102  USA  1972  VG\VG+ Album has many hairline scratches from sliding along paper sleeve.  Plays good, but there is some background noise on both sides.  Lyrics sleeve in excellent shape.  Two posters are perfect.
Chicago VI  Columbia  KC 32400  USA  1973  VG\NM Inner sleeve in decent shape; not great, but not bad.
Chicago VII  CBS/Sony  SOPW 1--2  Japan  1974  NM\VG+ No Obi strip, Bio sheet and inner sleeves in good shape.  Plays Mint.  My catalog number is SOPW, but online database only has SOPM; maybe it's just an unusual variant.
Chicago VIII  CBS/Sony  25AP 1238  Japan  1978  NM\NM Plays super clean.  Inner sleeve in great shape, but has moderate split on bottom.  Obi strip and Bio sheet in perfect condition.
Chicago X  CBS/Sony  25AP 107  Japan  1978  NM\VG+ Spindle is tight - looks and feels unpenetrated, so I did no sound check.  Album looks great; has some static, but I did not clean - since it looks so new, I am leaving it alone.  Lyrics sheet included and in good condition.
Chicago XI  CBS/Sony  25AP 777  Japan  1977  VG\NM No Obi strip, Bio sheet excellent.
Chicago 17  Warner Bros./Full Moon  9 25060-1  USA  1984  NM\NM Lyrics sheet good; has fold in one corner, but no splits.
Hot Streets  Columbia   FC 35512  USA  1978  VG+\VG+ Inner sleeve in good shape, but with seam split on bottom and folded corner.  Manufacturing marks in the form of hairline scratches and swirling patterns exist on both sides, but with no apparent effect on play (I check these with headphones)...record plays very cleanly despite these flaws.
Chicago's Greatest Hits  Columbia  PC 33900  USA  1975  VG+\G+ Inner sleeve not included.  This is the one jacket that is not in the best shape due to shelf wear, but the record plays very well.
