Warner Brothers Records 1768

Vinyl = EX  / Sleeve = VG+ (price tag on upper right - see photo)

I always grade records very conservatively using a modified Gold Mine system. For more information on the way I grade all records and sleeves, please see the following information:

FOR VINYL RECORDS:

Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item.

Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing.

Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration.

Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record.

Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.

FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:

Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item.

Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible.

Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print.

Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape.

Very Good Minus (VG-): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible more so than on a VG cover. Splits or tape may be present. There may be some writing on the cover.
