Over the coming months I will be thinning out my Classical, Jazz, and Rock vinyl collection. Many records and some collectable books & magazines.

Classical recordings on Decca, HMV and Columbia from the golden age of Stereo and some selected Mono's, as well as Jazz Audiophile 180 gram re-pressings, mainly Blue Note.

Industry Standard Vinyl Grading System (Record Collector Magazine)

Mint

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition

Excellent

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced

Poor

The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

Bad

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler

In addition to the accepted grading, Near Mint may be used to describe a record that is “as new” but is known to have been played lightly and shows light spindle marks.

Records which fall between the above grades are assigned either a + or  – grades are often added to grades
