LOST WEEKEND RECORDS GRADING SCALE
MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Lost Weekend will never
grade a record as Mint as we believe it is an unattainable grade.
VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++)
VG++ records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or
other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks”
from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major
factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously
pressed off center is not VG++. If played, it will do so with no
surface noise. (VG++ records don’t have to be “never played”; a record
used on an excellent turntable can remain VG++ after many plays if the
disc is properly cared for.)
VG++ covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
VG++ will be the highest grading Lost Weekend Records uses. Even so we won't grade many records at this level as we are very particular about this level of grading.VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
