Cover: VG+
Record: VG+
Vinyl Record Grading Legend:
Mint (M): The item is absolutely perfect in any way.
Near
Mint (NM): The record is almost perfect, has quite likely never been
played. The label and the cover may have some almost unnoticeable wear.
Very
Good Plus (VG+): The record shows some signs that it has been played
and/or handled by a previous owner who took good care of it, the label
may have some wear or discoloration but it should be barely noticeable.
Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will
have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam split. An LP
cover may have sparse signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out
hole, indentation, or cut corner.
Very Good (VG): Many of the
defects found in a Very Good Plus record will be more pronounced in a
Very Good item. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, labels may be
marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.
[However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.]
Good/Good
Plus (G, G+): The item will have significant surface noise, 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 be present. While the record will be playable without
skipping, noticeable surface noise and “ticks” will almost certainly
accompany the playback.
Poor, Fair (P, F): The record is cracked,
badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The
picture sleeve could be water damaged, split on more than one seam and
heavily marred by wear or writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP
inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
Since the item is a Bootleg, please consider that how it was recorded also influences how it plays.
