RECORD GRADING

Vinyl

 

NM: like new, plays superb and looks superb…as close to perfect as a used record gets.

 

NM-: plays excellent, looks excellent… very, very, light audio and/or visual wear.

 

VG++: plays great, glossy, very light wear...a solid, well preserved record that has been played, but handled with care

 

VG+: plays loud, strong & clear… with some light background audio wear and some light visual wear that while present does not effect strong play and an enjoyable listening experience.

 

VG to VG+: still plays loud, strong & clear…slightly more background audio wear and visual surface wear than VG+, still very listenable

 

VG: still plays loud & strong, has some noticeable visual wear, and some noticeable audio wear, that does not overpower the music.

 

VG-: plays through good without skips, has noticeable audio wear to very noticeable audio wear, but not so much that it ruins the play…  visually, has noticeable to very noticeable visual wear or heavy wear. Please read my descriptions of individual record for more detail.
