The VJM Record Grading System


N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).


N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.


E+ (78).  Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.


E  (78). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.


E- (78). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.


V+ (78). V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.


V (78). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.


V- (78). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.


G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.


G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.


G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.


F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.


P (78). Unplayable.
