VISUALLY, THE 45 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN NRMT CONDITION!

I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE PLATTER STILL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL DEEP LUSTER! A GORGEOUS PIECE OF VINYL THAT APPEARS TO BE HARDLY EVER PLAYED AT ALL!  I DO SEE SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY)  NONE OF WHICH WERE EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FEEL-ABLE NOR DID THEY EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS, PRESENT VERY NICELY AND SHOW LITTLE TO NO SIGNS OF EVEN BEING PLAYED AND GRADE NRMT!

OVERALL I GRADE THE VINYL AS NRMT!

THE COVER PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO SPLITTING, WRITING,  OR STICKERS TAPE ANYWHERE! THE SPINE IS STRONG & TIGHT AND PERFECTLY READABLE! BOTH SEAMS ARE UN-SPLIT AND TIGHT. THERE IS A VERY SMALL PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE AT THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER TO APPARENTLY WARD OFF A POTENTIAL SPLIT. HARDLY NOTICEABLE, I ALMOST MISSED IT ENTIRELY. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RING/SHELF WEAR TO EITHER SIDE!

THE COVER HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S GLOSS & COLORS! THE REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND TOTALLY READABLE. THERE IS SOME MINOR SLICK RIPPLING NEAR THE MOUTH ON THE REVERSE SIDE ONLY.

 THE CORNERS DO SHOW SOME VERY MINOR WEAR .

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES NRMT- (MINUS) AND PRESENTS VERY VERY PROUDLY!

I HAVE  PLAY GRADED THIS MOMENTS AGO AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS  INCREDIBLE! I SUPPOSE IF YU LISTENED VERY VERY CAREFULLY YOU MIGHT FIND SOME EXTREMELY MINOR SURFACE NOISE UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC HERE AND THERE, MOSTLY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN THE SONGS. BUT YOU WOULD REALLY HAVE TO LISTEN VERY CLOSELY TO HEAR IT AT ALL. CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS  DISTRACTING OR OVERPOWERING IN ANY WAY.

OVERALL THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES NRMT!

CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I GIVE THIS LP AN OVERALL GRADE OF NRMT- TO NRMT!

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OURGRADING SYSTEM.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splitsnot larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Recordshave more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There areNO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
