I have rated the records using two different ratings. 

Ebay Vinyl record grade according to Goldmine Magazine

and an alternative method listed below.

Alternative record grading

E+ = New stock, never been opened or played.

E = Bright and shiny, no scuffs or scratches. Looks new but has been played 

E- = Still bright and shiny, shows some signs of handling but nothing that would create extra noise during playback. 

VG++ = Showing a little more sign of wear, maybe a few light scuffs or minor scratches but nothing that would create extra noise during playback. 

VG+ = Shows signs of wear with some scuffs and minor scratches. Nothing that would create noticeable loud ticks during playback but will play with some background noise. 

VG = This is a well played record with minor scuffs, scratches and maybe even some graying in areas. However, the record still plays well and can be enjoyed. 

VG - = Begins to have scratches that make the record quite noisy on playback and have noticeable ticks from scratches. 

 G = This is a record that, for some, can still be enjoyed until a better copy comes along. Lots of scratches, may even make the record skip. Possible hairline fracture. 

Likely this grade of record will only be listed if it's a rare record where the content or label is highly collectable. 

P = This record is either broken or otherwise unplayable. Again, this would only be listed if it were very rare and interesting for historical information.
