Records are graded using the Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide.

Grading is as follows:-

 MINT (M) : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover is in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

NEAR MINT (N/M):The record appears new but is known to have been played . The cover and /or labels are near perfect

EXCELLENT (EX) : The record 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. The labels may have light spindle marks

VERY GOOD(VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) : The record sound quality has noticeably deteriorsted . The cover suffers from folding, scuffing of edges , spine splits, discolouration ect...

FAIR (F) : The record is still just playable but displays considerable surface noise . The cover will be torn , stained and/or defaced

POOR (P): The record will not play properly with bad surface noise ect...The cover will be badly damaged or partly missing .

BAD (B): The record is unplayable and only good as a collection filler .

For Records that appear to fall between accepted grades then + or - are added to the grading .

Also if a record or cover falls generally in one of the above grades except for a noticeable defect , then I will mention that defect .

Finally to all USA Record Buyers :- Please note that your grading system(Goldmine)

is different to the British Grading System.Please read the above carefully before Buying
