  ·       CONDITION:

 

·       RECORD

 

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

 

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  SEALED ! -  MINT MINUS Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

 

(b)            The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY  thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex' type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either.

   

 

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

Here is a detailed explanation of our grading system as it applies to vinyl records: 

  • NM (Near Mint):   Our highest grade. Like new, most likely unplayed.
  • VG++:   A record that has a few visual imperfections that will not affect the sound. Likely played only a handful of times or never at all. 
  • VG+:   A few more surface marks than a VG++. The record has probably been played before but well taken care of and should play with very few audible imperfections.
  • VG:   The record will display light surface scuffs and marks. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or pops here and there. A VG record will play with very minimal noise and will still be quite enjoyable. We think our VG grade is conservative.
  • VG-:   The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG record but will play without skipping.
  • G:   The record will have heavy wear, deep scratches and very apparent surface noise, clicks or pops.
  • Poor:   Records with this grade should be considered unplayable.
Cover grades:  

Although a description is given for cover grades, a bidder should be aware that a cover that is graded NM will be like new and with no apparent wear or defects and a cover that is graded Poor will be a wreck that is still desirable based on scarcity, historical importance or other market demand.  All grades between these two extremes will be logically applied to the item on auction and major defects will be noted in the item description as necessary.
