Description
I am selling some records for a friend of mine. I have cleaned each record with my VPI HW 16.5 using a solution with almost no alchohol.
I have played each one beginning to end ,both sides
Vinyl grade Mint this was sealed and played once by my friend and once by me . no marks or defects , label has a sticker on one side that says commercial copy stereo #77001
Cover grade is EX no ring wear , there is some warping on the open edge . little to no wear on edges or corners . front cover has a circular scratch were a price sticker was cut off the shrink ( shrink has been removed ) rear cover has a stamp DJ copy not for sale .
Playtest Plays like new .
I give 3 grades for each record.
1. The visual look of the vinyl
Some times records look good and play bad sometimes they look bad but play great .
Mint no evidence of play
Near Mint NM a spindle mark or two . a few faint marks of evidence of handling but nothing that looks like it would be audible .
Excellent EX more than a few spindle marks obvious evidence of handling but again nothing that should be audible .
2. 2. The condition of the cover
Covers are graded as follows
Mint no signs of wear , still in shrink wrap no bent corners , no cut out damage .
Near Mint . a small amount of wear on the corners . perhaps some yellowing on really old covers , the beginning of ring wear .
Excellent. clean spine . some corner wear . Some light ring wear no splits or cracks .On some European covers the glue may have come undone on one or more of the seams buty otherwise little to no wear .
3. My opinion of the level of sporadic noise, pops, tics etc … this kind of noise may be due to the original vinyl, bits of dust my VPI missed or other reasons. New unplayed records sometimes have this kind of noise, but I want to give as honest an assessment of the records as I can
Mint Mint
If a record plays with no sporadic noise whatsoever I give it a grade
A few soft pops here and there a NM grade
A noticeable amount if your are paying attention to the noise and not the music EX
I won’t be auctioning records that go below that grade .
