RECORD GRADING SYSTEM I USE

(BASED ON RECORD COLLECTORS MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM)

MINT (M): Record: Will be in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.

Cover, contents and labels: As new or almost as new

MINT-- (M-) : Record: Shows a few signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality, plays like a Mint copy.
Cover, contents and labels: might have some very slight wear and/or creasing.

EXCELLENT+ (EX+): Condition in between M- and EX, better than EX but not quite good enough to be classed as M-. Will play extremely well with no background noise, clicks etc.

EXCELLENT (EX) : Record: Has obviously been played quite a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite some surface marks and the odd very light scratch or sleeve scuff mark.
Cover, contents and labels: Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items without any major defects is acceptable.

VERY GOOD (VG) : Record: Has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion, clicks and scratches. OK till you can get a better copy! I sell very few VG records and when I do the price reflects their condition ie. They're cheap and cheerful!
Cover, contents and labels: May suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

ABBREVIATIONS I USE RE :SLEEVES, LABELS, COVERS ETC.

TOP RH CORNER =TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER LH = LEFT HAND ETC

SMOL = STICKER MARK ON LABEL

SMOS = STICKER MARK ON SLEEVE

WOL = WRITING ON LABEL

WOS = WRITING ON SLEEVE

I’m thinning out my collection. I’ve been collecting for over 30 years and acquired a lot of stuff in the early 80s when I was a rep for different record companies. Most of the stuff I'm listing has been played once or not all so the majority of it is virtually mint. Over the next few weeks I’ll be listing more 80’s, Indie, Rock stuff

& Northern, R&B, Blues, Soul & Funk. Most of it is at http://demodiscs.musicstack.com  However disregard the album prices on there as the majority I’ll be listing from 4.99, unless it’s rarer stuff. I’m still collecting Northern so if you’ve anything to trade/swap I’m always on the look out, feel free to email me at this addy derek.noble@ntlworld.com
