Record Grading I use the following grades: M/M- Only for still sealed or certain unplayed records NM Should look very close to unplayed EX+ With very few signs of use EX Some light signs of use but nothing that should affect the listening experience VG+ A really nice LP with some signs of use and the can be the odd light click, but nothing major at all VG There are clear signs of use and there can be some recurring clicks and crackles, but not continously. G There are many marks and lines and you should expect that the listening experience will be hampered. But still playable. + and - are used for nuances. P/F Very rarely used. Only very rare records will be listed in this condition
