PLENTY OF SHINE HERE!  I DO SEE SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS/HAIRLINES.  (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) NONE OF WHICH I CONSIDERED TO BE FEEL-ABLE, NOR DID THEY SERIOUSLY EFFECT THE WONDERFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

PLEASE NOTE THESE LABEL PICS ARE BLOWN UP TO APROX. 2X THE ACTUAL SIZE! ANY IMPERFECTIONS APPEAR TWICE AS BAD AS THEY ACTUALLY ARE!!

THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS AND ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL!

OVERALL I GRADE THE VINYL AS EX TO EX+

THE COVER PRESENTS VERY PROUDLY! THERE IS NO SPLITTING,WRITING, OR STICKERS ANYWHERE!  THERE IS LITTLE TO NO EVIDENCE OF RING/SHELF ON EITHER SIDE! THE COVER HAS RETAINED MOST ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL GLOSS AND VIBRANT COLORING!  THE SEAMS AND SPINE ARE UN-SPLIT, VERY STRONG & TIGHT. THERE IS A TINY PIECE OF VERY CLEAR TAPE AT THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER TO WARD OFF A POTENTIAL SPLIT...HARDLY NOTICEABLE, I ALMOST MISSED IT ENTIRELY. THERE IS A TINY PIN HOLE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. 

THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE VERY CLEAN,  INFORMATIVE & TOTALLY READABLE. THERE IS SOME MINOR STAINING IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER.

THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS/CREASES/SCUFFS & SOILING AS SHOWN.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES EX TO EX+ AND PRESENTS VERY PROUDLY!

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS AWESOME! THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE OCCASIONALLY NOTICEABLE, MOSTLY IN THE QUITE PASSAGES. SOME MINOR CRACKLE ON SIDE ll AT THE END OF THE SECOND SONG AND BEGINNING OF THE 3RD. NOTHING DISTRACTING OR OVERWHELMING IN ANY WAY! THIS BABY PLAYS LOUD & PROUD!

THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS,TICKS OR BURPS! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EX++!!

   OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE, I GIVE THIS ROCKIN' LP A GRADE OF EX TO EX+!!

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 unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for) The album cover will have NO 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 splits not 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 Records have 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 NORMAL 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 NORMAL 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.
