Vinyl is in Very Good Plus to Excellent Condition. The vinyl has a nice gloss but also show faint paper scuffs and a few hair line scratches. I have fully play tested and the album sounds great without any, static, pops, cracks or skips.

Sleeve is in Very Good to Very Good Plus Condition: Solid sleeve that shows strong signs of edge and cover wear along with light ring wear. no seems are split but it feels like the top seem may start splitting soon. 


All records are visually graded under a bright 100W Lightbulb. Please contact me with any further questions, or if you would like me to play test the album, if you would like more photos or any other further testing done. Grading is based on a mix between the Goldmine Grading Guide and eBay's Record Grading Guide. 

All records and sleeves are conservatively graded. I rarely use the grade "Mint" for both Record and Sleeve. I also rarely use or sell any album that would be graded "Pour or Fair". 


Grade Definitions

 

Mint (M): Seldom used grade, especially for used vinyl, for records that are absolutely perfect but not necessarily sealed. 
Near Mint (NM): This is the highest grade generally given. This will be a nearly perfect record that will show no obvious signs of wear or other defects. LP covers will be nearly perfect with no seam splits, cut-out holes, creases, stickers, writing, general wear or other defects. EP and 45 rpm sleeves will also be free of all but the most minor defect. 
Excellent (EX):  Record will show only very minor defects and generally not more than one. This is still a very nice record that will play perfectly. Only minor flaws allowed on records or sleeves. 
Very Good + (VG+): Record will show some signs of use or handling but it has been well taken care of. Expect to see small defects like light scuffing, light scratches, minor label wear, small markings on label. Record will still play well without noise. Covers will have some wear on surface or edges, bruised corners, small seam split, small markings, small stickers but generally not a combination of defects. 
Very Good (VG): Record will have a little heavier wear with maybe a little noise between tracks and soft passages but not enough to overwhelm the music. May have heavier small scratches but record will play through. Labels may have more obtrusive markings, tape or stickers.  Covers may be more heavily worn, markings, stickers, cut-out defects or a couple of more minor defects. 
Good (G): Moving to the lower end quality wise and the defects will be more prominent or there may be multiple defects. Should still be playable and covers will be a little rough. 
Poor/Fair (P/F): Generally this record is in the trash but it may be a hard to find piece that still has some value due to rarity. Don’t expect much.
