A few words on Vinyl Grades.........

My vinyl grades are pretty much in line with those commonly used here on eBay and other specialist vinyl sites. The descriptions I provide are of equal importance as they will include any details I'd think are useful to know when deciding whether to purchase a vinyl record. I normally examine a record’s playing surface in more than one daylight condition because the lighting at different times of day tends to reveal details that might not be noticeable at other times of day. For example, bright angled morning light shining through a window will reveal a multitude of fine lines and dust that are often superficial, and these can distract from significant surface imperfections which might be more noticeable later in the day. Sleeve grades shouldn't really require an explanation, needless to say, the photos and descriptions should speak for themselves.      

Mint (M) : Never played - the only way you can be fairly confident that a record is mint, is if the record is still sealed (and that’s not foolproof).

Near Mint (NM) : A record that shows hardly any evidence of being played – both in appearance and sound quality.

Excellent (EX) : A record that may have minor surface marks and/or minimal surface noise or tics.

Very Good + (VG+) : The record will be close to excellent but may have some marks or light hairlines that may occasionally be feelable - but not to excessively so. Sound quality may be slightly impaired with light surface noise/crackle or tics.

Very Good (VG) : The record will have several marks or scratches, and/or sound quality that isn’t that great

Good+ (G+) : This will be a record that has many surface marks or scratches and poor sound quality. I wouldn’t normally sell anything that would grade below this (ie ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’). Anything below this grade would probably have skips and I rarely sell records that have skips.
