Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick Vinyl LP Record (Album) Newspaper Sleeve VG/EX Chrysalis CHR 1003

Our records are professionally graded to the following standards as shown below.  The sleeve is graded first and then the disc is graded second.  These are the known as the grading codes.
For example, an item in EX/EX condition would mean:  Sleeve Excellent/Disc Excellent.
In the main, most of the records we sell are in Excellent Condition.  Please read through our in-depth guide detailing all elements and aspects involved in the grading of vinyl records.  It is best to grade records in daylight under a strong light, so that you can analyse the condition effectively.


Mint – M
Both record and cover are in perfect condition. There will be no scuffs, surface marks, wear or any imperfections on the vinyl. Any additional items such as a booklet, insert, lyric sheet or poster are in perfect mint condition.  The record itself will have never been played and may be still sealed.  It is normally brand new records that are identified by this grade.  This grade is not normally used by record dealers for older records unless are genuinely mint and still sealed from the day of purchase.

Excellent – EX
The record shows light or minor signs of play and the playing surface will still retain it's glossy sheen.  The signs of play will be less easy to spot.  The cover, packaging and additional items may have very slight degree of wear, but not very noticeable.  It will be clear that the previously owner of this record will have taken care of it and stored it properly.  The record will not have been played much and the sleeve will have minimal signs of handling.  If you are a record collector, you should be searching for records with a grade of Excellent condition or better.

Very Good Condition – VG
The record has been played regularly and has some visible surface marks, but no major deterioration in the quality of sound when played.  There may also be some evidence of regular playback in the form of spindle wear on the label.  Normal wear to cover, insert and additional items may be present, but there will be no major defects.  These may come in the form of light ring wear or discolouration, or some minor folds, creases and corner indentation.  This grade is fine for the casual music listener.  The record can be played and enjoyed, but is has clearly been used.

Good – G
The record has been played a lot and will have many mild surface scratches and groove wear.  It will play through with no skips or jumps, but there will be some noticeable deterioration to the sound quality and listening experience.  This may be surface noise or clicks and pops during playback.  The cover, insert and additional items may have some folding, ring wear, spine splits, tape repairs or scuffing to edges.  There may also be pen writing on the sleeve or record labels. We do not recommend buying records in Good condition or below this grade.

Fair – F
The record still plays through, but visually it will have lots of scratches and audibly, very noticeable surface noise such as crackling, distortion, clicks and pops.  The sound quality will have significantly deteriorated and listening experience will be poor.  The cover may damaged, torn or stained. A record in fair condition is normally regarded as a collection-filler.
Poor - P
A record in poor condition will be cracked, warped or badly damaged to such an extent that it won't play through properly.  The sleeve will be very badly damaged.  It may be defaced, faded, heavily soiled, have seam splits, be ripped or torn and might be water damaged.  In some cases it will be completely missing.  Records in poor condition should be avoided.  We do not sell any records that are in poor condition.
