VISUALLY, THE 55 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN GOOD CONDITION.
I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE VERY THICK RARE PLATTER STILL HAS SOME OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTER. I DO SEE MANY MANY EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES. (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) WITH SEVERAL LIGHT SCRATCHES BEING JUST BARELY FEEL-ABLE.
THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS BUT SHOW LOTS OF SPINDLE TRAILS FROM BEING LOVED SO MUCH!
OVERALL I GRADE THE VINYL AS GOOD
THE COVER GRADES VG- (MINUS). THERE WERE SEAM & SMALL TEAR (UPPER LEFT CORNER) REPAIRS DONE WITH CLEAR TAPE BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A NAME THAT WAS MOSTLY REMOVED ABOVE THE WORD BLUEJEAN. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE OF RING/SHELF ON BOTH SIDES. THE COVER HAS RETAINED SOME OF IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS. THERE IS A STAIN IN THE UPPER RIGHT BOARDER.
THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE TOTALLY READABLE & CLEAN. THERE IS SOME SOILING/STAINING AS SHOWN.
THERE ARE SOME DINGS/CREASES/SCUFFS & STAINING AS SHOWN.
BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES VG- AND SERVES THE PURPOSE UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG.
I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS VERY GOOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1ST SONG ON SIDE 1
ON SIDE 1 THE 1ST SONG HAD 4-5 QUICK SKIPS/JUMPS IN ONE AREA BUT AFTER THAT PLAYED VERY GOOD. IT DID NOT REPEAT...IT DID ITS LITTLE JUMPING EXERCISE AND MOVED ON. THE REMAINDER PLAYED WITH MINOR NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING I CONSIDERED TO BE OVERLY DISTRACTING! A FEW SOFT TICS/POPS AND SOME GENERAL BACKGROUND NOISE...NOTHING CONTINUOUS.
OVERALL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES GOOD AND STILL VERY MUCH ENJOYABLE. A GOOD FILLER COPY.
OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I GIVE THIS ROCKIN' LP A GRADE OF GOOD

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.
MINT
Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.
NEAR-MINT
NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks (from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for) The album cover will have NO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits ,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!
VG+ (EXCELLENT)
VG+ records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.
The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less. It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.
VG
VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.
VG-
VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.
G+
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH NORMAL tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
