I don’t have a lot of record grading experience but have used the following guidelines to determine the grade(s) to assign to this album.  This album was visually graded.

NEAR MINT or (NM, M-):  This record appears virtually flawless.  A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl.  It should play without any noise over the flaw.  The flaw is very hard to see.  The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age.  Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

VERY GOOD PLUS or (VG+):  Record shows wear, surface scuffs.  The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye.  If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade.  COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it.  The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging.  The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover.  Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage.  Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through.  The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork.  In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
