GRADING:

New & Sealed Items are graded MINT unless otherwise stated above.

Used Records: If there is a grading specified in the description, it will usually apply to the record. For individual sleeve, inlay and record gradings please refer to the item specifics.

All gradings are based on the following:

1. MINT (M)An LP in ‘mint’ or M condition is considered to be perfect. It means that it is usually sealed and has never been played.

The record is in brand new condition without any surface marksThere is no deterioration of sound qualityCover and additional items such as booklet, lyric sheet, and poster are in excellent condition

2. NEAR MINT (NM)The record in ‘near mint’ or NM condition has been played no more than a few times. It appears glossy and has remained on a shelf between other vinyl.

Such records don’t have any marksThe package is completeIt looks just like it is from a store and you are opening it for the first timeThey are shiny and don’t have any visible defects. There is no writing, markings, or stickers on the label. They don’t have any ring wear, creases, and seam splits. Besides, they are free from any spindle marks.

3. EXCELLENT (EX)It is almost Near Mint, but you can tolerate very slight marks at the point where the record has been in and out of the sleeve. There can be very tiny signs that show a very light use of the vinyl. There is extremely low lessening in terms of audio quality. We can refer to it as ‘E’.

4. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)The key features here include the following:

There can be noticeable surface marks. The cover and other items can also have normal wear and tear.

6. GOOD (G) / GOOD PLUS (G+)A vinyl record in ‘Good’ or G condition means that it has been played extensively. You should expect the following from it:

8. WORN (W)A vinyl graded ‘bad’ will be unplayable. It may even be broken. It is of no more value than being collection-filler.
