condition gradually deteriorates - Good is
still Good, but there is a rapid widening
of the Grade Bands, as the condition
deteriorates over the last Four grades.

no surface marks or deterioration in sound
quality.

booklet or poster are in perfect
condition.

clearly unplayed.

major defects.
This is an above average
used record, that has been well looked
after.
GOOD
56 to 68
The
record has been played so much that the sound
quality has deteriorated, but the record will
still play through, and it will not be a
completely unpleasant listening experience,
even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and
contents may suffer from folding, scuffing
of edges, spine splits, discolouration,
etc.
FAIR
41 to 55
The
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
25 to 40
The
record will not play properly due to
scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and
contents will be badly damaged or partly
missing.
BAD

and is only of use as a collection-filler.

recognisable.
A few words about postage.
Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)
