                                                          GRADING

*Our records are professionally and conservatively graded using a strict interpretation of Goldmine Price Guide's internationally adopted record grading standard....please shop with complete confidence!

*All records are professionally cleaned with VPI HP-17 record cleaner before grading

SS = Still Sealed; New M  = Mint; I rarely ever use this grade..only if an open record appears to have never been out of its inner sleeve M- = Mint Minus; A near perfect probably unplayed cpy VG+ = Very Good Plus; close to like new with only superficial signs of use that won't affect paly. Only well cared for records will grade out VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector VG = Very Good; A used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice VG- = Very Good Minus; significant wear and marks and usually quite noticable surface noise. G+ = Good Plus; A heavily scuffed, noisey sounding record
