3 CBS DJ LP'S, TOP 30 USA HITS FOR AUGUST 1985 - VINYL UNPLAYED
HERE AT THE OLD MONROE RECORD COMPANY OUR GOAL IS 100% SATISFACTION AND WHILE OUR POLICY PROHIBITS US FROM ISSUING PARTIAL REFUNDS WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST SO THAT WE CAN RESOLVE ANY ISSUE WHICH MAY ARRIVE. PHOTOS TAKE PRECEDENT OVER ANY WRITTEN DESCRIPTION SO PLEASE USE THEM WHEN MAKING YOUR PURCHASE AND FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO US WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. LISTED BELOW IS THE SYSTEM FOR RECORD GRADING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS! *Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. *Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. *Excellent (EX) - Might have a hard to see blemish, tiny hairline, perhaps played once basically looks almost new. *Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
*Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
