Record condition: there are some paper scuffs on the playing surface, but the record plays superbly, with virtually no background noise and no skips, pops, clicks, ticks, et cetera. Very quiet between tracks. We have graded it as VG+ due to the paper scuffs only. The audio quality is very strong EX.
Label condition: clean and unmarked, some spindle trails around the centre hole.
Inner sleeve condition: excellent condition
Picture sleeve: there is slight discolouration and some creasing to the front of the picture sleeve. A few light laminate halfmoons There is some discolouration and some staining to the back of the picture sleeve (see picture). The spine is in nice condition and the text is fully readable. Minimal wear to the corners and no splits.
Condition is expressed as two abbreviations, seperated by a slash. The first refers to the disc and the second to the sleeve. The abbreviations we use are as follows:
M (Mint), EX (Excellent), VG (Very Good), G (Good), F (Fair), B (Bad).
For example: EX/VG indictaes that the record is in Excellent condition and the sleeve in Very Good condition.
Grading Definitions
- 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 the contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
The vast majority of items we list are in Excellent or Very Good condition. We only use the 'Mint' grading for items with no visible flaws at all, so many of our excellent items are in very near mint condition. Occasionally we list rare items in lesser conditions. A full list of grading definitions is available in our ebay store.
