GRADING I don't use the grades mint or near mint, so the best grade used is EX. The other thing you won't see is anything like +++ - I mean really? All records are first visually graded based around the Goldmine standard - see below for details. Then I spot play grade every record, paying particular attention to any defect I see that may affect sound reproduction. I will provide a grade for the cover and record, not the inner sleeve; nor will I guarantee that the inner sleeve is original to the record unless specifically noted. All records will ship in a (probably used) clear plastic cover with the record removed from the sleeve. Records are dusted but not professionally cleaned; I recommend a thorough cleaning prior to playing.
If you don't agree with the grading of this item and wish to return it, I would appreciate it if you would contact me as soon as possible. For returns other than 'not as described' buyer pays return shipping. Having run an online record store from the mid 90s to 2008 I understand the importance of you knowing exactly what you are buying.
Grading scale: M and NM: over-used grades that I don't use EX: minor visual defect, perhaps a surface mar but should play great VG+: more noticeable blemishes to cover but not too distracting, minor surface noise possible on quiet passages or track leadin but overall a very enjoyable listening experience VG: this grade is not really 'very good'. More visual and audio defects, but cover is intact albeit with noticeable defects and the record will have more visual defects and audible noise, but won't detract much from your listening experience G: record with his grade would be a placeholder until you can find a better copy. Lousy cover, very noisy but plays through with no skips. P: junk
Codes GF = gatefold RW = ringwear SM = sawmark CC = cut corner DNAP = does not affect play COH = cutout hole SOC = sticker on cover SOL = sticker on label WOC = writing on cover WOL = writing on label WLP = white label promo T&TS = title and time strip
