PLEASE SEE THE BELOW explanation for my grading scale to understand how I assess the vinyl LP albums you intend to buy!

I play test as many of my LP's as possible. I will indicate if I have listened to the entire LP or if I have spot tested it. If not play tested I will visually grade and list any observations as honestly as I can.

I use a combination of the industry standard Goldmine Grading Scale as well as a 1-10 scale to ensure a clear and accurate account of each albums condition. Cover/Sleeve Grading applies to OUTER SLEEVE ONLY. If the original Inner sleeve is included it will be shown in the photos. Please ask any additional questions regarding inner sleeve or album condition BEFORE purchase! THE SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS:

10: MINT (M), Pristine, Looks as if it just came off the manufacturing line, also listed as New, Mint Sealed/Unopened

9: NEAR MINT (NM), Looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time, maybe played a few times if ever, no evidence of play or wear whatsoever

8: EXCELLENT (EX), also listed as VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++), LP may have a faint surface mark or two barring it from being truly Near Mint, but sound quality should not be affected at all, cover sleeve is just short of Near Mint, often used for cover sleeves in Shrink, or with no ringwear or staining or easily visible flaws whatsoever, seams and spine fully intact

7: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+), Shows slight signs of wear, light scuffs or scratches may be present but they do not affect playback other than faint surface noise heard sporadically in between tracks, or the occasional soft click from a surface mark here or there, cover sleeve is considered still frameable yet when observed closely will show to have a flaw or small flaws, very minor ringwear if any, seams and spine intact but not pristine

6: VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD PLUS (VG/VG+), more obvious signs of wear and handling, LP has surface noise that is noticeable in some spots but perhaps is quiet and clean in other spots, clicks and pops will be heard, but will not significantly disrupt the music, cover sleeves have more obvious ringwear or marks/staining, seams may have cracking, minor seam splitting or some missing spine text but are still fairly well intact. Writing may be present on label.

5: VERY GOOD (VG), significant and obvious wear and handling including surface noise throughout, audible scratches which cause clicks and pops and crackle but no skips or repeated grooves, cover sleeve may have significant ringwear and/or staining, seam splits may be evident, label or sleeve may have writing, names, stickers etc.

4: VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-) Significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise

3: GOOD/GOOD PLUS (G/G+) A record in G or G+ condition will play without skipping but will have significant surface noise, scratches and groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits especially at bottom or spine. Tape, writing, ring wear and other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
