WEATHER REPORT  ~ HEAVY WEATHER  ~ Incredible Jazz LP! Got me hooked on funk and fusion! Sony-CBS Mastersound Half Speed Original Master Recording Condition: NEW and Factory Sealed LPs are not play graded! I do not play grade for two reasons: First, every TT stylus tracks and plays differently, thus, what you hear and I hear are most likely different. Second, under the same lighting and assuming 20/20 vision, we see the same thing. LPs are visually graded under a bright 100W or greater bulb. Please do not hold me accountable for play grade given the LPs are visually graded and my commitment to providing an accurate visual grade.  Occasionally, I may miss something. If I do, please let me know and let's work it out.  My goals are simple.  Get you a rare audiophile LP that you are happy. Raise some funds from sale that support a young man with autism attend a work program. Avoid drama, hassle on all ends.

VISUAL GRADING (GOLDMINE STANDARD)

M  Mint - usually reserved for sealed records.

NM Near Mint is not quite perfect, has only one or two insignificant defects such as sleeve scuff or light mark. Often these lps are audibly perfect or close. Marks may be found in the entry and trail-off areas.

NM-/Excellent Near Mint-/Excellent is visually very nice, close to NM, but not quite as the lp may have a hairline or a couple of marks.

VG++ (or NM-) Extremely nice, would be NM- except for a few light hairline scratches or scuffs which do not affect play.

VG+ A nice but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It may play with a few pops or ticks but no serious problems. 

VG A well used record that still sounds OK but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
