COVER: VG. I am giving this cover a VG rating because I hate it when I can't read the spine. However, it's in pretty good shape. Some scuffed corners but no writing or stickers. This record has been stored correctly in a plastic dust cover for over 30 years. Check the pics! 

VINYL: VG+. Plays clean with no warping or skips and very few ticks or sounds. There are slight scuffs and hair lines but none of them affect play. Plays loud and sounds great! Listen to the vid.

All ebay records sold are safely packaged in high-quality cardboard mailers made for keeping vinyl safe. Orders are shipped by standard US Postal Mail. 

I am very picky with my grading and I really try to price the records so we both feel satisfied. If you feel I missed the mark on the grading of a record you purchased, please reach out to me. I am selling a very large personal collection and look over a ton of vinyl everyday.

Here are my standards for grading records:

Near Mint Minus (NM or NM-)
This is almost a perfect, brand new record and the vinyl will play perfectly. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other defects. The same goes for inserts, posters, lyric sheets, sleeves, etc.

Excellent (EX)
This record will show some signs that it has been played but taken care of, protected, and correctly stored by previous owners. Defects should be cosmetic and not affect the playback. Record surfaces may show signs of wear, slight scuffs, or very light scratches, but these shouldn't distract from or affect one's listening experience.  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Small spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a promo hole, cut-out hole, notch cut, indentation, or cut corner. 

Very Good Plus (VG+)
This record is still high quality in my collection. You may hear slight surface noise, subtle pops, and ticks when playing, but these sounds should only add to the warm analog feeling and not overpower the music otherwise. Scuffs or light scratches may be noticeable, but they shouldn't cause skips during playback. The cover or label may have writing, marks, or stickers. But I think these just add to overall mystique of the record's history.
