These albums are used and sold as is.
Rush--Mercury SRM-1-1011.  The record has some marks on it but sounds really good.  The jacket is in nice shape and will display well, with just a little rub wear on the front and slight wear to the edges and corners.  Includes original Mercury Records inner sleeve.  Great copy of this album.
Fly By Night--Mercury SRM-1-1023.  The record looks great (very shiny), with a few marks but nothing major; it sounds good, with just a little surface noise in some of the quiet parts.  The jacket is in nice shape and will display well, with a whisper of ring wear on the front, more pronounced ring wear on the back, and normal wear at the edges and corners.
Caress of Steel--Mercury SRM-1-1046.  The record looks great (very shiny), with a few marks but nothing major; it sounds really good, with just a little surface noise in the first minute or so on each side.  The gatefold jacket looks nice, with a little faint ring wear at the top and bottom of the front, faint ring wear on the back, a little light rub wear here and there, and normal wear at the edges and corners.  Inside the gatefold looks fabulous.
2112--Mercury SRM-1-1079.  The record has some marks and wound benefit from a proper cleaning but sounds good, with a little surface noise in the quiet parts (mostly on Side B).  The gatefold jacket looks nice, with some very faint ring wear, mild rub wear, and normal wear at the edges and corners.  Inside the gatefold looks great.  Includes what I presume is the original Mercury Records inner sleeve, which warns about the inferiority of pirated 8-track cassettes (more relevant now than ever).
A Farewell to Kings--Mercury SRM-1-1184.  The record has some marks but nothing major; it sounds good, with some surface noise in some of the quiet parts.  The gatefold jacket is in good shape with a little rub wear, some ring wear on the back, and normal wear at the edges and corners.  Inside the gatefold looks great.  Includes original inner sleeve with pictures of the band and the official naked-guy-and-pentagram Rush logo.  There is some writing on the label and the outside and inside of the jacket--on the cover is "6/22/79" and "Cathy Rehm", and on the inside it looks like Ms. Rehm wrote "To Steve with Love/All my love, Cathy."  I snagged this record used in the mid-2000s, so I don't know if Steve and Cathy are still together; if not, Steve was fool to let Cathy go.

Listening to these for the first time in many years, I was struck anew by how awesome Rush sounds on vinyl.  I was especially struck by both the sharpness and the depth of the drums (RIP).

These are from my collection.  I bought them used, I took good care of them, and they brought me many years of enjoyment.  If you are an audiophile or hardcore collector, you might want to look elsewhere.  If you are looking for the warm sound of Rush on vinyl, please consider bidding.
