Steely Dan Pretzel Logic vinyl LP 1974 ABC Records ABCD-808 1st press Platinum Plus MCA-37042. Record and Sleeve VG+ - Record has some surface scuffs and surface scratches. Sleeve in great shape with minor wear. See photos. Photos are of actual item. Visually graded only.

Disclaimer: Grading is not done by a professional but by the seller. Grading is subjective. I do my best to describe what I see. Records have been visually graded only. So even if they appear VG+ (i.e., only surface scuffs and surface scratches) there is always a possibility there will be background noise, pops, crackles, etc. NO returns for ANY Reason.

M - Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. 

VG++ May have few visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that should not affect play.

VG+ - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.

VG - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.

G - But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
