Here is a reissue of the 1967 album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience called Are You Experienced?  This is a reissue in 1979.  Couldn't find any date of this until I saw it at then bottom right corner of the inner sleeve side where they show photos of other albums of his and that shows "copyright 1979 Warner Bros, Records Inc. Made in U.S.A."   Label is Reprise RS 6261.

You can see the song titles on the photograph of the back cover or the label photos.  The cover is in mint condition!  No wear marks, no ringwear, no other marks.  Amazing!  Inner sleeve has a 2 inch tear at the top on the side of the Jimi photograph.

Vinyl:  Side 1:  There are only a couple of scuffs and a few super tiny surface scratches.  Side 2 is similar.  All are unfeelable scuffs and a couple of really light surface scratches.  I played it on my Technics turntable and all sounded great.  No skips or pops or crackles.  Not even any tics.  Obviously it wasn't played too much, but I have other Hendrix LPs that were played a lot. 

I rate the cover as Near Mint as there are no defects on it, looks new! The vinyl gets an Excellent (EX) to Near Mint (NM) due to great sound quality as there weren't many surface scratches to cause any sound disorders.

Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):

NM:Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.

NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.

EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.

VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.

VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.

G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.

P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
