Listed As "Very Good" Condition But You Could Say It's Better Than That. Its Needs A Clean But You Could Say Excellent Condition Maybe Near Mint. I Have Had A Look At The Media In The Light And Cannot Find Any Hairlines. It Just A Little Dirty. Have Played It Down A Bit To Save Any Fuss. The Centre Piece Has Been Personalised With A Name "Andy" Written In Felt Tip Pen. (Please See Photos) Overall The Record Is Probably Excellent. 
Its A Rare Record, I Cannot Find Another One The Same On Ebay. Have Checked Discogs And They Are Selling The Record With A Worse Condition (Scratches) Between A Total Price Plus Shipping £24 Up To £43  
Condition - MEDIA Very (But Likely Better) Sleeve Very Good  -  Please Use Photos As A Guide. The Media Would Come Up So Much Better With A Clean. There Are No Serious Scratches Or Marks. And I'm Struggling To Find Any Hairlines. The Sleeve Is Also In Very Good Shape, There Is No Serious Damage Or Wear, Slightly Worn At The Corners And Sides. Quite Minimal - Please See Photos

Mint (M)

Vinyl

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Vinyl

A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

Vinyl

Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.  

Very Good (VG) 

Vinyl

Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very Good as the lowest price. 

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) 

Vinyl 

Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  

Poor (P), Fair (F)
