An excellent copy of the debut LP. The cover is M-. Looks like new. The LP is NM. As clean as they come. Has the "She's No Good" misprint on label.
I pack the record(s) very well using cardboard mailers, cardboard inserts and I remove the
LP from the record cover to prevent damage.
I use the following scale for grading. My grading uses Goldmine standards with some variance.
MINT (M), Pristine, Looks as if it just came off the manufacturing line, also listed as New, Mint Sealed/Unopened
NEAR MINT (NM), Looks as if it was opened for the first time, maybe played a few times if ever, no evidence of play or wear.
EXCELLENT (EX), also listed as VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++), LP may have a faint surface mark or two barring it from being truly Near Mint, but sound quality will not be affected at all, cover sleeve is just short of Near Mint, often used for cover sleeves in Shrink, or with no ringwear or staining or easily visible flaws whatsoever, seams and spine fully intact
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+), Shows slight signs of wear, light scuffs or scratches may be present but they do not affect playback other than faint surface noise heard sporadically in between tracks, or the occasional soft click from a surface mark here or there, cover sleeve is considered still "frameable” yet when observed closely will show to have a flaw or small flaws, very minor ringwear if any, seams and spine intact but not pristine
VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD PLUS (VG/VG+), more obvious signs of wear and handling, LP has surface noise that is noticeable in some spots but perhaps is quiet and clean in other spots, clicks and pops will be heard, but will not significantly disrupt the music, cover sleeves have more obvious ringwear or marks/staining, seams may have cracking, minor seam splitting or some missing spine text but are still fairly well intact. Writing may be present on label.
VERY GOOD (VG), significant and obvious wear and handling including surface noise throughout, audible scratches which cause clicks and pops and crackle but no skips or repeated grooves, cover sleeve may have significant ringwear and/or staining, seam splits may be evident, label or sleeve may have writing, names, stickers etc.
VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-), typically only going to be seen on a cover sleeve for a significantly rare album that is in extremely bad shape, lots of splitting etc, yet is still worth owning due to its rarity.
GOOD +, typically used for very collectible LP's and covers that are well used, but still has some intrinsic value. LP's have numerous scratches, some may cause skipping. Covers will have tears, paper loss and generally look like cat toys.
