VJM 78 GRADING SCALE

N-:Nearly New, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+:Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny

scuffs from being slipped in and out of sleeves.

E : Excellent. Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E-:Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches.

V+ :is 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.

V : Very Good Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- :Quite playable still, but distortion and 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 : Good Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.

G- ; F ; and P The VJM system has these designations for records in extremely poor condition.

 

M  - reserved for sealed records.

NM Near Mint with only one or two insignificant defects.

EX  Looks  &/or plays just short of NM

VG+ Used but not abused. Will have some audible imperfections but no serious problems.

VG A well used record that still sounds OK but will have some pops &/or surface noise but nowhere near the volume of the music

VG- A very worn record that plays through without repeating or has a skip that loses more than a couple of notes/words.

 It will have defects that will be noted.

G+ Similar to VG- but a bit worse

G Playable, arguably still enjoyable but may have any number of sound defects.
