78RPM SHELLAC DISC GRADING:
Modified version of VJM.

M-  =  N-    Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

EX  =  E+   Plays like new, with very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs or faint wear.

VG++ to EX-  =   E  Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and faint scratches.

VG(+) to VG+  =  E- Less shiny (or beginning dullness) and without the lustre of a new record with scuffs, and a few light scratches or marks. Playing is without notable distortion. 

VG  =  V+  An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

VG(-)  =  V  Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

VG-  =  V-  Quite playable still, but distortion or heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.

           G+  Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.

G+  =  G  Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G   =   G-  Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

           F  Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.

           P  Unplayable.
