THE COVER PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. THERE IS NO WRITING ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WITH SUPER CLEAR TAPE BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE SPINE IS  WORN AND ONLY PARTIALLY READABLE THERE ARE SOME MINOR  DINGS/CREASES AS SHOWN. THE LINER NOTES ARE VERY CLEAN AND ARE  EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AND PERFECTLY READABLE!

 BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS I FEEL THAT THE COVER GRADES AS VG TO EX- AND PRESENTS WELL!

 I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT!!! THERE WAS SOME  MINOR OCCASIONAL CRACKLE NOISE UNDERNEATH THE MUSIC. SOME SOFT TICS HERE & THERE. MOSTLY MORE EVIDENT IN THE QUIET PASSAGES BUT NOTHING I FELT WAS DISTRACTING OR OVERWHELMING AT ALL! AN EXCELLENT LISTENING COPY! THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, OR BURPS! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EXCELLENT!  

OVERALL  CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE THIS CLASSIC LP GRADES AS VG TO EX!

WE GRADE OUR RECORDS USING GOLDMINE AS A GUIDE AND HAVE MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE DOING SO!

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 have NO 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 splits not 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 Records have 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 are NO 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.
