Grading is as follows:
I will never advertise something as Mint unless it has never been opened. I rarely use NM (near mint) unless it looks like it has never been taken out of the sleeve and played.
VG++; Great copy, any collector would be happy with. Very little to no wear on record, no real scratches, scuffs or marks. Plays almost like new.
VG+; Also a great copy but may have some markings on vinyl or label, may also have some slight noise. A great copy for collector's.
VG; Markings on vinyl or label, background noise.
VG-: Has seen a better day! but still plays with very noticable noise.
G: A demolished record, I will only use this rating if it is something extremely rare, scratches and may possibly have a skip.
All records sold whether new or used are sold as used, as most listed will be out of print for many years. All records sold (unless sealed) have been played LOUD on a Garrard Type A70 turntable with Empire 888 cartridge and stylli. Grading varies from one seller to the next as many are stricter in their grading than others. I believe I represent the records I sell fairly,
