Here is the 2002 limited edition of the music by The Orb Badorb.com 12" maxi-single.  It was made in England.  It is a light cover sleeve with a plastic sleeve over it.  It includes a Certificate of Orbthenticity.  It mentions Chrysalis Publishing.  Only 2000 copies were made of this one known as Bob 12.  And it may be actually called Daleth Of Elphame EP.  You can zoom into that photo of the Certificate to read what it says and the 3 tunes mentioned.  The matrix reads:  BOB-12-Az.  Very cool sounding electronic type music.  There are no vocals on it except for what sounds like recorded sentences here and there.

The cover looks great front and back and is in a plastic sleeve.  On the "eye" label, there was a small label removed.  Back labels looks fine.  I did see on Side A there were 3 long surface scratches, but unfeelable.  I played it on my Technics system and there were no skips or pops.  Just very minor light tics during quiet times.  I was not allowed to put a video on here of it.  Side B only had a few short super light small surface scratches which did not affect anything.     

I rate the cover at Near Mint to my grading of Excellent (NM-EX).   The vinyl gets a Very Good Plus (VG+) to Excellent as the sound quality is very good with the exception of the 3 physical surface scratches that did nothing major to the sound.

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.
