Description
GRADING SYSTEM: EX+, EX, VG+, VG (All records are orig. vintage pressings from my own collection)
Excellent Plus (EX+): Optically: No obvious signs of wear, only a few faint superficial hairlines under bright light from the inner sleeve or storage are present. With clean looking labels the record looks like it was hardly ever played. Some vintage US records may show under bright light only, some slight pressing shadows (different refraction) from the manufacture that never affect the play (not to be confused with the full “cloudy” US vintage records which may have a constant background static from the manufacture). Play-Test: The record plays clean with at most minor low-level faint occasional surface static or a couple of very occasional one-off slight ticks present from the manufacture.
Excellent (EX or VG++): Optically: An excellent quality looking record with some superficial paper scuffs and hairlines. The record looks like it has been played but handled with extreme care. A few spindle traces are visible. Play-Test: The record plays clean with some slight surface noise and/or some slight occasional ticks between the tracks, at the lead in or in the quiet passages.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Optically: The record surface shows some signs of wear, hairlines and some thin superficial scratches but nothing that can be felt with the fingertip. Play-Test: The record plays with some constant low-level surface noise/crackle and some occasional ticks.
Very Good (VG): Optically: All of the defects found on a VG+ record are more pronounced on a VG disc. Play-Test: Surface noise, crackle and more ticks are permanently heard but will not overpower the music. There is at least one thin scratch that can be felt with the fingertip affecting the sound with repetitive ticks/pops. However such a record plays still very dynamically with no distortion and no skips.
Good (G): I do not offer records that play with distortion and/or skips.

The US promotional (white label) copies are considerably better quality pressings as the regular ones. They are produced in smaller quantity and sent to broadcasters and DJ’s in advance of the release of commercial editions. The promos are considered valuable collector’s items.
The thick Vinyl looks little played (few spindle traces on the labels visible) and shows minor hairlines and few thin superficial longish scratches under bright light. Beautifully recorded and engineered original George Piros masterings and pressings with a strong, deep, rich and vibrant sound and a powerful dynamic cut. The record plays clean with some slight occasional background noise and ticks mainly from the manufacture or storage. According to the above-mentioned grading system, the record grade is EX. The Cover shows some wear, sticker stains and little tear on the front cover (please see the Photos).
Die LP wurde nicht viel abgespielt (wenige Spindle Traces auf den Labels sichtbar) und weist unter hellem licht leichte haarfeine Kratzer und paar dünne oberflächliche Kratzer auf. Das Vinyl ist eine orig. George Piros Pressung welche sehr dynamisch spielt. Beim Audio-Test sind leichte gelegentliche leichte Hintergrundgeräusche und Ticks von der Pressung oder Lagerung hörbar. Gemäß dem oben genannten Bewertungssystem der Zustand ist EX. Das Cover hat etwas Gebrauchsspuren, Flecken von Stickers und einen kleinen Preisabriss (bitte siehe die Photos).
