RECORD GRADING: 

·         SS    Still sealed. A new and unplayed, unopened record.

·         M     Mint minus.  Clean and bright, no obvious signs of wear, probably played once or twice.

·         VG+   Very good plus. Close to like new with only superficial signs of use which will not affect play. A well cared for record that will satisfy most collectors.

·         VG    Very good.  A used but reasonable copy. There will be some signs of wear and possibly light noise during quiet passages, otherwise a nice and acceptable playing copy.

·         VG-   Very good minus.  A used copy with significant wear, marks and likely to have surface noise.

·         G+    Good plus.  Not a particularly nice copy, however a playable record. We do not like to sell any record in G+ condition unless it is a true rarity and when any copy in playable condition might be desirable.
