VISUALLY, THE 50 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE PLATTER HAS RETAINED MOST ALL OF ITS DEEP RICH LUSTER! PLENTY OF SHINE HERE! I DO SEE MANY EXTREMELY LIGHT SCUFFS/HAIRLINES (MOSTLY OF THE SWIRLY VARIETY & SLEEVE SCUFFS). NONE OF WHICH ARE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FEEL-ABLE. NOR DO THE SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE OUTSTANDING LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

THE LABELS ARE FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STICKERS AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY WEAR EVIDENT JUST SOME MINOR SCRATCHES ON SIDE 1 LABEL. 

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THE VINYL GRADES AS EX!

THE COVER PRESENTS VERY PROUDLY! THERE IS NO SPLITTING, WRITING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE VERY STRONG AND SUPER TIGHT! THE SPINE THE SAME AND PERFECTLY READABLE! THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT TO EITHER SIDE! THERE IS HOWEVER SOME APPARENT MOISTURE DAMAGE TO THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. VERY HARD TO NOTICE ANYTHING FROM THE FRONT BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME WARPING TO THAT CORNER. IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE FROM THE REVERSE SIDE, AS YOU CAN SEE SOME MINOR RIPPLING OF THE SLICK. 

THE LINER NOTES ON THE REVERSE SIDE ARE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE & CLEAN. THERE IS SOME MINOR STAINING VISIBLE AS SHOWN. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS/SCRAPES/SOILING/STAINING AS SHOWN.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS EXCELLENT AND WILL PRESENT VERY PROUDLY!

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING! THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC HERE AND THERE MOSTLY IN THE QUIET PASSAGES BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS OVERWHELMING OR DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY! 

THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS, OR LOUD POPS, HISSES, CLICKS, TICKS OR BURPS!

I GRADE THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE AS NRMT-!

OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE THIS CLASSIC LP GRADES AS EX!

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.

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 un-played (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO 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 splitsnot 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 Recordshave 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 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/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 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.
