Kraftwerk  /  RALF and FLORIAN  Phonogram/Vertigo Records  / 1975 / Catalog Number Vertigo VEL-2006 
GRADING: [please refer to my grading system below]  LP record = B Outer sleeve = C-  (would be a "B" except for the hole punch at top right front of album, conveniently located within the Vertigo company symbol.  See the last photo.)                
This is a very nice copy of Kraftwerk's RALF & FLORIAN 1975 lp record album from my personal collection.  Clean and glossy surface plays nicely.  Clean label.  The outer cover shows very minor edge/corner/ring wear.  Has been enclosed in a poly cover for years. No seam splits.  Still highly frameable despite the "hole-punch" as mentioned above.  See the last photo above for a close-up view.  Includes the original Vertigo-Mercury paper inner sleeve.  The actual record will be separated from the outer and inner sleeves during shipment for protection.
I grade both the LP records themselves, and just as importantly, the outer sleeves using my own system. Sometimes LP albums have great playing records but the outer covers are poor.  Sometimes LP albums have poor records inside but the outer covers are great, and notable for their framability.

VINYL LP GRADES:

A = Mint in original shrink-wrap, or near mint although it has been played.  Both cases are rare.

B = Clean, glossy surface. Absolutely minimal "pops", static, and scuffs.  Label is clean and unmarked.  

C = Surface shows some scuffing and may need cleaning but still plays decently. Label may have marks.

D = Surface is scratched and more heavily scuffed.  Plays through but not without more noticeable "pops".

F = Vinyl is warped (but still may play through) and is noticeably dusty/dirty/scratched.

RECORD COVER GRADES:

A = Mint in original shrink-wrap, or has been in a clear Mylar cover since new. Near mint. No ring wear. 

B = Clean, glossy cover with very minimal ring wear, corner bumps, edgewear and/or seam wear.

C = Clean cover without marks, names, labels, etc.  No corner-cuts, hole-punches, or remainder marks.  Some noticeable ring wear.

D = Cover is dirty, marked and/or torn. Heavy corner/edge wear.  Heavy ring wear.  Has some inkings, labels or remainder marks.

F =  Damaged, faded, and/or heavily marked cover.  Ripped and/or detached seams.  Heavy ring wear and/or remainder marks.
