_____________________________________________
Nouvelle du Jazz uses standard discographical terms for grading. A conservative grading
philosophy is used to ensure customer satisfaction. Any problems with a record
will be handled courteously and satisfaction in the form of refund, credit or exchange will be offered.
We have had extensive experience dealing with collectors of jazz for many years
and our interest is making you happy with your purchase. A conservative grading
philosophy is used to ensure customer satisfaction.
*---------------------------------------------------------------*
The discographical grading code that was adopted before WW II by pre LP collectors was designed
both to prevent misrepresentation, which was prevalent even then, but to
get a clear definition of consistent usage of terms used to describe the
condition of 78 rpms, that are still actively traded by the purist genre.
Today, the wasted effort involved in returning records the buyer doesn't like
is just as big a turn off now as it was in 1933. Nouvelledu jazz maintains tons of good records,
and our interst is providing every buyer to get a good mint, near mint record, or in the case of
"As-Is" condition lps, where the musical interest of the LP is strong to
collectors of jazz music, a balance of fair price based on the degree of
usability left (how good is it?) and the degree of how extra usage detracts
from its usual value (how bad is it?). "As-Is" records are cleaned up, and still fun to listen to on
good equipment, or they won't be offered.
Here's the Grading Code for Record Shoppers
(May you hope for Fair Skys for your flying stylus, no turbulence in the undisturbed grooves of your vinyl)
N or N/NM - grooves are undisturbed, never breathed on record surface, cleaned to remove any miniature cosmic debris.
NM/N-a virtually unmarked disc, played what?, once a year, hasn't been played much at all
N-the traditional good enough to keep, never have to replace it condition. Any signs of usage are
smooth gentle marks that hardly tough the surface of this lp.
EX+-this type of condition record has been played quite a few times, but no blunt force
collisions with sharp speeding styluses have occurred. A tick or a pop, even a few repeated
seconds of surface noise can occur with the usage involved in 100s of plays in fifty
years or so. But these slight interruptions in microgroove continuity are far outweighed by the
musical enjoyment offered at a reasonable market price.
EX=still excellent sonically, with no shearing or clipped tones, cleaned to the
microscopic level, can be a lot of fun to jam with, as they play good enough
to finish what they start. Not worn enough to throw away.
Other-Anything below this level, will be explained in detail, such as how far it was
it tossed, by an angry junky saxophonist, who later retrieved it
from the street and traded it to a gift shop for a parrot, or ferret.
