KISS - Unmasked This album is pre-owned....see my rating scale below.
Album cover is in VG+ condition. There is some wear, primarily at the corners and sides. There are no splits on the sides and the spine is still readable.
The inner paper sleeve has splits on all three sides.
I'd rate the vinyl G. It does show significant scuffs & scratches, and has a lot of skipping. This is really not a playable copy. It would be more of a display piece.
BELOW IS THE GRADING I USE ON MY RECORDS I'm not a professional record seller. I try the best I can to describe the record as it is.
I test each record. I may not play the entire album but I test the areas that look like they have the most wear.
MINT - Still Sealed and appears perfect in every way.
NM - Opened. Vinyl, inner sleeve and album cover appear nearly perfect in every way.
VG+
- Vinyl will show some signs of handling. The record surface may show
some light scuffs or very light scratches. These will not effect the
sound of the record while playing. The album cover may show slight wear at the corners. There will be no splitting of any sides. There
may be slight ring wear..meaning the shape of the record can be seen on
the outside of the album cover due to it having been rubbed against
other records or surfaces.
There
may be a hole punched or a cut on one of the corners...this is
sometimes done by record retailers for one reason or another. The inner sleeve may have a small split on the side or a fold or two.
VG - Many of the defects I've listed for VG+ will be more pronounced with this rating. Scratches
may be deeper. You might be able to actually feel them with a
fingernail. The record can still be played without skipping but there
may be hissing and pops. There may be writing on the record. The album cover may have a split side. There may be tape holding it together. There may be writing on the album cover.
The inner sleeve may be split or torn.
G - This rating will be used primarily for records that skip.
