Live Wax Grading Process and Standards
--------------------------------------
All open records are cleaned using a Nitty Gritty Minipro 1 and then visually AND play-graded (visual grading alone will not adequately determine sound quality or reveal all potential defects - we reject many records that "look great"). Where appropriate/needed, records are then placed in Diskeeper audiophile sleeves and jacketed in poly sleeves for storage.

We are conservative in our grading: if borderline, we err on the side of caution and apply the lower grade. We intend for our customers to be delighted more often than not, and never less than satisfied.

Grades
------
Still Sealed (SS):  In original shrink wrap, and with no visible defects.

Near Mint (NM):  No visible or audible defects, appears unplayed.

Very Good Plus (VG+):  Shows slight signs of wear. Light scuffs or scratches may be present, rarely/barely audible.
No seam splits to jacket.

Very Good (VG):  Obvious wear and handling, including visible groove wear, surface noise, audible scratches, 
ring wear and small seam splits.

We generally do not offer any material in less than VG condition.
