Record Grading

Each entry indicates reference number, speed (LP/45), Artist, Title, Label, Label #, Condition, comments and price. All prices are in US dollars.  Unless noted, every record is an original issue for the label and catalog number given. Heres a brief explanation of my grading system, followed by an overview of abbreviations you will encounter...

SS  Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition M  Mint - I don't use this grade. M- Mint Minus - a near perfect, probably unplayed record VG+  Very Good Plus close to like new with only superficial signs of use that dont affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector. VG Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice. VG- Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise. G+ Good Plus. In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
