VINYL GRADING POLICY & ABBREVIATIONS USED
( All of our vinyl is visually graded, unless noted )

SS

Still Sealed - Never opened. Flawless.

NM

Near Mint - A near mint piece of vinyl, this would be our highest grading used for any open record, still has original luster with only the slightest of use (no noticeable scuffs or scratching and will play with no distractions).

Cover: Almost perfect without any flaws.

EX

Excellent - This record would fall between NM and VG++, it's not quite NM but is better than VG++.

Cover: Slight wear may be displayed .

VG ++

Very Good (plus, plus) - A very good record that has been played very little and handled very carefully. Vinyl may have slight surface scratches that do not effect the play and still has most of its original sheen.

Cover:  Will have minimal marks and wear.

VG +

Very Good (plus) - A nice record which has been played and handled, would have visible but light scratches and scuffs, however this should not hamper the listening enjoyment for many years to come in the hands of a collector.

Cover: Up to 3 areas of wear may be displayed . This may be slight seam wear, slight ring wear, or slight corner rounding .

VG

Very Good - Record show visible sign of play with a few scratches and scuffs, may have slight surface noise.

Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams.

VG -

Very Good (minus) - Has more imperfections that the above grading and we would only sell this type of record if it was very rare or for the cover value only.

Cover: More than normal wear and tear.

G

Good - Record has been well played and shows it, record if played may skip and would probably have clicks and noise. Again this record would only have value if it’s very rare or for the cover value only.

F

Fair - We don’t sell this type of LP’s.
