GOOD
56 to 68
The

quality has deteriorated, but the record will
still play through, and it will not be a

of edges, spine splits, discolouration,
etc.
FAIR

record is still playable but has not been
cared for properly and displays considerable
surface noise; it may even stick, skip or
jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant
listening experience at the top of the grade
(55) and will not be a pleasant listening
experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and
contents will be torn, stained and/or
defaced.
POOR

record will not play properly due to
scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
