RECORDS MAKE GREAT GIFTS!

______________________________________

The grading scale for the vinyl condition only (not the cover or label) is:

MT = Mint.  Perfect and in sealed, original shrink-wrap/packaging.  Please Note - As the LP is still sealed, it is presumed to be in Mint condition.

NM = Near Mint.  As close to perfect as you can get, no visible scuffs/scratches.  Played only a couple times, at most.

NM- (minus) = Excellent.  Vinyl has only a couple minor surface scuffs, but certainly no scratches.

VG+ = Very Good+.  Vinyl has a few surface scuffs and/or very minor scratches (but no ‘feeler’ scratches).

VG = Very Good.  Vinyl has numerous surface scuffs and/or very minor scratches (but no ‘feeler’ scratches).

G = Good.  The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear, 
(Records in this grade are usually not offered unless they are very rare or in great demand.)

___________________________________________

The very large and clear pictures enable you to assess the condition of the cover and label yourself, so covers are not graded.  However, any condition which the pictures might not show, such as seam splits, will be stated. 

Several album covers may have a small gold adhesive dot at the very top left corner of the cover.  The previous owner placed a gold dot on the records which were thought outstanding in quality.

The number / letter after the title is a box location code and has nothing to do with the record itself.

Some album covers are very glossy and can partially reflect photo lights. (Archiv, Telefunken, DG, etc) 
A perceived cover defect may not actually exist because of this.  Please ask if you have any questions.

All records are checked for excessive warpage and are "spot-played" to be sure the record has not been played with a damaged stylus.

If something has been overlooked that may be important to you after you receive the record, please allow us to discuss it.  We always want you to feel that you received a fair deal.  There is a 14-day return guarantee in the case of a significant defect not reported.

All 10- and 12-inch 33 rpm records are carefully cleaned with a Nitty Gritty Vacuum Record Cleaner using distilled water before shipping.  Please note that either vacuuming or electrostatic cleaning methods are by far the most effective way to clean records.  Other methods are not nearly as effective or can actually do damage.

All 12-inch records are shipped with an inner sleeve (usually the original) and a plastic outer protective sleeve.
