STEREO ISSUE BOX SET - UK
My records are described according to “The Record Collector’s” grading system.
This was originated by “The Record Collector” to assist people buying or selling records.
Their seven standard condition categories and a description of what each one means are given below.
I hope you find this helpful.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition
with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any
extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect
condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The records 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 contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges,
spine splits, discoloration etc.
FAIR: The record is
still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays
considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be
torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to
scratches, bad surface noise etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged
or partly missing.
Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection-filler.
