Michael Jackson- Thriller- Vinyl LP Record 1982 Epic QE 38112
record grade VG+(+)
sleeve grade VG+
The record is very clean with just a few very light sleeve marks visible under bright light. There is also a light storage warp that does not affect play. Basically, the record doesn't lay perfectly flat but there's no impact on the sound. The record sounds great.
The sleeve has a light corner wear, a small crease along spine, a small corner bump, and a couple small bumps, one on spine and one on top edge. The custom inner sleeve has some wear from handling and a seam split.

I grade LPs based on a conservative interpretation of the Goldmine standard. This means that a VG+ record is in very nice shape and should have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. A record with sustained surface noise will be at best a VG. All records are play-graded since not all surface noise can be detected visually. All records are shipped in new Whiplash mailers with cardboard backing with the sleeved record outside of the jacket to prevent seam splits.

Below is more thorough info on my grading system:

NM: Surfaces essentially look new. This is the highest rating I give used records.
VG+: Very nice shape. May have a few stray very light hairlines and/or light paper scuffs visible under bright light. Will have little to no surface noise barring an occasional moment here and there. No feelable marks.
VG: Has hairlines and/or paper scuffs and has audible surface noise particularly between songs and during quieter passages.
G+: Has more pronounced hairlines and paper scuffs and may have a few small feelable marks, but still no skips.
