Here is a lot of three David Bowie vinyl record albums, all in Near Mint Condition (see grading standards below). You are getting:

Aladdin Sane: RCA AYL-3890, stereo, released 1973

Lodger: RCA AYL1-4234, stereo, released 1979

Scary Monsters: RCA AQL1-3647, stereo, released 1980

Mint (M)

· Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, If at all.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

· A nearly perfect record.

· The record should show no obvious signs of wear.

· Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

· A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

· Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight 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.

· Picture sleeves and LP inner 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.

Very Good (VG)

· Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.

· Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.

· Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

· Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

·  Good does not mean Bad!

· A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.

· A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
