78 RPM Grading System:
- NM = near new condition
- E = barely played, extremely close to near new condition
- VG = played, but not abused condition, should play very well, may have light scratches, scuffs
- G = well played, but should play pretty well, will have deeper scratches, scuff; may have some background noise, scratches, scuffs, wear
- P = well used, pretty bad condition, lots of background noise
45 RPM Grading System:
- SS (New Still Sealed) = New store stock or otherwise unopened, factory fresh product
- NM = Essentially new or near new with only one or two small insignificant visual anomalies
- E = Still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which won't materially effect play
- VG+ = A really nice specimen, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It may play with a few pops, but has no serious problems. Still glossy with a lot of life left in it
- VG = An acceptable, well-played record that still should sound good, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
- G = Not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in a way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
This record grades VG+ on Atlanta Low Down with nice shine and just a few light scratches and marks (see at 9 o'clock position). VG on Auburn Ave Stomp. Has nice shine. Some visual groove pattern that may be light wear or pressing issue. Nice player. Please listen to audio here for better discernment.
