My grading:
NM: Virtually brand new
NM-: plays like new but a few pops and ticks show up
NM--: still a great sounding LP but just a bit more surface noise
VG+: Surface is more noticeable and on multiple tracks
VG: Surface noise throughout but does not take away from presentation
VG-: Well- now you'll notice the noise very easily but the disc still has all its sound
G: A bit of a tough ride now
G-: buckle up
All discs are distortion free: i.e. all loud climax hold their own and do not break up
