GRADING/CONDITION

I use the standard Record Collector Magazine scale for grading records (as detailed below) but will grade with a + or - where I feel the item being described is better or worse than the grading description. 

PLAYING SURFACES

EXCELLENT: Beautiful copy graded strictly: Vinyl downgraded due to very light handling marks on side B, while side A looks unplayed and untouched, with great deep sheen; clean labels.

LABELS

EXCELLENT

OUTER SLEEVE

EX+/NM: Cover in superb shape: looking nearly new, downgraded due to one small sticker of the original 1960's record shop on backside at bottom right (unobtrusive), else clean and intact with sharp edges, no wear, a perfect spine and still a great sheen on laminated front.

GRADING/CONDITION

Record grading 

 I use the standard Record Collector Magazine scale for grading records:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.

The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.

The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,

despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.

Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.

The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.

The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
