These used records come to you not play tested and we do our best at being accurate in grading.

We wish we had the time to listen test each and every record.

We grade lower than the actual condition really is.

Your new found treasure has been cleaned but it should be cleaned and made static free by you also

to achieve optimum sound quality.

They have been on a lot of turntables, parties and probably quite a few owners as well through their

years of their existence.

**********Record Grading Standards*******

Sealed and New: Still has Factory seal, a record never opened.

NM: May have a few superficial signs of use.

I use this category sparingly, as most LP’s fall into the

later grading categories.

VG++(EX): Almost near mint but it might have a few more superficial

signs of use and slight sleeve scuffing and minimal light scratch’s.

The covers will also start to show signs of wear like light ring wear and edge wear.

VG+/VG++: May have a bit more scuffing than VG++ (EX)

or a few light scratches but a little better grade than VG+.

Surface noise will be more noticeable.

The covers will show more ring and edge wear.

VG+: Signs of wear and will have slight sleeve scuffing & a few more light scratches. Will have

surface noise in spots, generally still has it's luster.

The covers may be more heavily worn with seam splits or increased ring and edge wear, punch holes or

corners cut, these are cut-outs not promos and they were sold at a discount.

VG: Surface noise will be noticeable especially in the quiet areas,

and might overpower the music in areas, more noticeable

scuffs and light scratches.

Covers will have even heavier ring and edge wear, maybe slight water damage or turned up corners

VG-: Vinyl will play but may have surface noise on most tracts, signs of heavy use or wear.

Note, I rarely sell this grading unless it is a real treasure and an hard to find album

that collectors look for to add to their collection until a higher

grade record comes around.

Skips and dull sound quality is sometimes caused by dust build up in the grooves or on the stylus or even static buildup

(use a record mat) on the record which will help immensely. Bare in mind Vinyl records are at least 25-50 years old

or more and they will never be made again. Treasure your new found purchase. Variables that come into play, 1.

Have you cleaned your record lately? 2. Does the record have static build up? 3. How worn is your stylus or have you

cleaned it lately​ 4. How old is your cartridge and needle​? 5. How many grams of pressure is set on your stylus

(should be 1 gram)?, just to name a few. We offer a 14 day return policy on everything we sell.
