PLEASE READ

I  want to sell the very best LPs . 

I do not want to sell LPs that have been played many times and created detrimental additional sound from playing

 

LPs vary in quality by the ingredients used in the LP, by the pressing,

 and by the use after opening.

Check the description for each LP for flaws and pressing quality.

Condition Notes:

Records are graded on visual and play inspection. Each LP is washed on a VPI HW 17, an expensive and careful machine.  This cleans and exposes each LP, removing all dust, fingerprints, and chemicals used in the stamping process. This allows a proper visual inspection, and a bad pressing is readily seen. If a bad pressing is noticed, the slightly flattened spots are now seen. All the sleeve marks and scratches are exposed.  I try and comment on the pressing. Some are just noisy.  There can be pressing marks which are a bit swirly, which do not seem to affect the sound at all. If I can I will note these. The marks from either are very different.  I will only sell the best I can, and expose each item by the washing process.  This wash is even recommended before the first play, to clean the residue of pressing. After cleaning each LP is inspected. If a particular item is noticed, I will play at that spot and report if there is an issue. Realize the difference between the qualities of different manufacturers. Different companies had different tolerances to quality.  There was variance of each pressing plant within each company at times. Sometimes it may be worth owning a very nice LP (minty as far as played) that is not a great pressing, as they for the most part, all the pressings had issues because of conditions. Perhaps they used an inferior product for the LP itself, which made it difficult to produce a great product. The Japanese LPs sound better for a reason. They put more money in the product of the record material and in the care of the quality during the pressing process. They might use each stamper for far fewer LPs. I do not want to sell anything that has been played many times and created any additional sound from these playings. If that is the case it will be because of a rare recording and identified as such.

Sealed: A brand new, SEALED record, never played

 Mint: An unsealed record that looks as good as new.

A nearly perfect record. The record should show no signs of wear. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, water stains or other similar defects. The same should be true of any inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like (or else these should be graded separately). Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a record shop and opened it.

NM:  An LP that  may have some pressing marks and played a time or 2.

VG++: Excellent. Light cosmetic flaws that should not affect the sound.

A Very Good Plus 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"", but should be clearly pointed out. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, staple holes or corner cut. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, the VG+ graded item would be Near Mint. Very Good Plus Plus records are highly acceptable to all but a few collectors.

 VG+: May have cosmetic flaws, mild surface noise or short patches of ticking, but should sound fine overall.

Many of the slight defects found in a VG++ record will be more pronounced in a VG+ disc. Surface noise MAY 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 MAY start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue). The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, a VG item DOES NOT have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

VG: May have moderate noise throughout or one or two bad patches from scratches. Still fine for general listening.

 Very Good does not mean Bad! A record in Very 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.

Good: Noisy, but plays through. I will only sell very rare or unusual items in this condition.
Please contact me for a refund if a record plays worse than described.
