Grading Definitions

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and the contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

The vast majority of items we list are in Excellent or Very Good condition.  We only use the 'Mint' grading for items with no visible flaws at all, so many of our excellent items are in very near mint condition.  Occasionally we list rare items in lesser conditions.  A full list of is available in our .
