All our records are visually graded, many are play tested as well. We also professionally clean most of the records in our store.

Please note that many imperceptible factors can degrade the sound of a record, including pressing defects, vinyl quality, recording techniques, dust, and mastering, among others. It is possible that an item will not play at the standard to which it was graded for the above or other reasons. We do our best to grade fairly and accurately and appreciate your understanding of factors beyond our control and observational skills.

Our grading system is based on the Goldmine Standard, and is as follows:

SS (Still Sealed) – Unopened, brand new LPs in their original factory shrink wrap. These records are generally presumed to be mint, though that may not always be the case due to manufacturing defects, sleeve scuffing and minor warping.

M (Mint) – A perfect and seemingly unplayed record. A record in this condition will have no visible flaws and will look as though it has never been handled. This is the highest grade we will give a record that is not sealed and we use it rarely.

NM (Near Mint) – Virtually mint with no major flaws if any flaws at all, with only the slightest evidence that it has ever been played or handled. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age.

EX (Excellent) – Close to brand new with only very minor indicators of use that will not affect playback. EX records should satisfy all but the most critically demanding audiophiles. Covers will be very sharp with only slight imperfections.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) – A great looking record, used but well taken care of with perhaps a few small imperfections such as a light scratch or two. Cover should have only minor wear. May have light ring wear, some very minor seam wear or a tiny split at the bottom. Also may have some defacing, such as a cut-out markings or a name written on the cover in small print. VG+ records are great copies for all but the most discerning listeners.

VG (Very Good) – A record with obvious use but will still sound good enough for the majority of listeners to enjoy. Will have light scratches and some soft surface noise (clicks and pops), but no skips. Cover may have a small split, a light visible ring, rounded corners or a few obvious creases, or writing on the cover. 

Good – These records are not trashed, but will play back with considerable noise due to serious wear and scratches. They should not skip, but this may depend on turntable setup. Covers in this condition may show heavy wear but are not trashed. Tape, fully split seams, heavy writing and tears are common.

Fair & Poor – These are basically "play-at-your-own-risk" which are in very rough condition all around and have been neglected or abused. We will not be selling records in this condition unless it is a very rare and sought-after record, or included in a large lot for a low price.

We may amend a grade with a plus (+) or minus (-) indicating that the record is slightly better or worse than one of the standard grades but we do not use multiple plus or minus signs. As an example, a record that is somewhere between the two grades could be EX+ or NM- depending on which grade more accurately represents the perceived condition.
