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.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
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.
VERY
GOOD (VG)
VG records have more obvious flaws
than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the
original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident
on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a
fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some
scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a
song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music
otherwise.
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.
VERY
GOOD MINUS (VG-)
VG- does not mean bad! The record still
plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until
something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise
and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear,
heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove
tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has
ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on
sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge
radio station letters written across the front to deter
theft.
STILL SEALED (SS)
Lost
Weekend Records will sometimes list an album that is Still Sealed
from the factory. They will typically bring higher prices than a
clean opened copy.
We can't call Sealed records mint
because there might be a minor flaw in the pressing of the vinyl or
some minor warping from being sealed.
