The vinyl is graded "NM+" condition and most of the discs appear to have never been played; each disc is in a custom poly lined sleeve with track listings on the front and the history of each song on the back (see photos).   

The outer box jacket is a faux leather box in "EX+" condition; the inner box jacket is in "NM" condition; the record sleeves are in "EX/EX+" condition (see photos).

Record grading is visual and based on the following criteria:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

“M” Mint - a near perfect or unplayed  record.

“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.

“EX+” close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

“EX” a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.

“VG+” There will be obvious signs of wear and a few skuffs and light surface noise, but still quite nice.

"VG" Audible/visible scuffs, scratches and surface noise but plays without skipping. 

"G"/"G+" Considerable surface noise, scuffing, groovewear and scratching.
