EXCELLENT (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and or creasing

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

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

Grading can be fine tuned by adding + or -
