We want you to be happy with your purchase, below is a guide to
how we rate our records. We rate both the records and the record jacket. 
If the record does not live up to our grading upon receipt, please email
us through EBAY before leaving a Feedback or Rating so that we may
correct it for you.

General standards For Record Grading

(M) Mint Record still shrink wrapped, new copy of a record.

(NM) Near Mint Almost perfect record that has usually only been played
1-3 times, in "like new" condition, no visual defects.

(NM-/ EX+) Almost near mint, maybe a few very light marks, nearly
perfect.

(VG+/ EX) Very Good Plus / Excellent Record
- will show minor signs that it was played but otherwise handled by a
previous owner who took good care of it. Record surface may show
light scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening
experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should
be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen
by repeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly
turned up corners, or a slight seam split.

An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a
cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print
and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with
it, this would be Near Mint.

All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus (VG+)
record highly acceptable.

(VG) Very Good Record has more wear than VG+ with some
more surface noise, light pops, scuffs or light scratches. Generally
still a great playing copy, no skips. Jacket may have more shelf wear,
a little writing, sticker residue, punch out/cut out holes or corners.

(VG-) Very Good- Record has noticeable groove wear, discoloration,
surface noise, louder pops, marks & scratches/ scuffs but still a decent
playing copy, no skips. Cover may has heavier shelf wear, more
discoloration and split seams.

(G/ G+) Good/ Good Plus Record still plays without skipping
but has considerable amounts of groove wear, discoloration, surface noise,
scuffs, and/or scratches.  Sleeve has a lot of wear and some defects such
as split seams, heavy creasing, writing, marks, sticker residue, etc...
