Condition

If two grades appear, the first grade is the cover and the second is the record. If only one grade appears, it is for the vinyl only.  A 2-lp album counts as two LPs.  I grade my records conservatively. 
SS = still sealed
M- = near mint, or unplayed condition. Cover is nice and new looking with no ring wear. 
EX = only slight signs of wear; very clean, only light surface marks which will not distract significantly from the sound. Cover also has only slight wear, and is still in nice collectible condition. In general, if not for a couple things, it would be near mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find highly acceptable.
VG+ = played often with moderate surface wear and some moderate noise - still plays well. Cover may have medium overall wear or some ring wear. Minor warps that do not affect play are OK.
VG = overall wear, but no skips of serious defects, more noisy sound during quiet passages. Cover is well worn, usually with considerable ring wear. 
VG- = heavy wear on record and cover. 
G or G+ = Poor or Rough condition.

All records are guaranteed to be in the condition stated or you may return it and receive a full refund, postage excluded. Record must be returned immediately.   Insurance on domestic mailings is recommended. Insurance on foreign shipments is usually cost prohibitive, but you may inquire prior to your purchase for options.
