VISUALLY, THE THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION!

I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE 42 YEAR OLD THICK RARE PLATTER  HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S DEEP ORIGINAL LUSTER. PLENTY OF SHINE HERE! I DO NOT SEE ANY SCRATCHES OR HAIRLINES JUST A FEW LIGHT PAPER/SCUFFS THAT WILL NOT EFFECT THE AUDIO IN ANY WAY! THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY LIGHTLY PLAYED CONDITION! I GRADE THE VINYL AS NRMT- (MINUS)

THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS, AND NRMT AS WELL!

 

 

 

 

 

OVERALL I GRADE THE VINYL AS NRMT- !

 

 

THE GATE-FOLD COVER PRESENTS NICELY! THERE IS NO SPLITTTING,WRITING, OR TAPE ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS & SPINE ARE UN-SPLIT STRONG & TIGHT! THEY DO SHOW SOME LIGHT WEAR, MODERATE AT THE CORNERS. THERE IS SOME MODERATE EVIDENCE OF   RING/SHELF WEAR ON BOTH SIDES. THE INTERIOR OF THE GATE-FOLD IS VERY NICE WITH VERY LITTLE WEAR.

THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINDS,SCRAPES,CREASES AS SHOWN.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES EX TO EX+

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING!!! IF YOU LISTENED VERY VERY CLOSELY THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE OCCASIONALLY NOTICEABLE MOSTLY IN THE QUITE PASSAGES. (INHERENT TO THE PRESSING NOT FROM ANY MARKS!) BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY! YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO NOTICE ANYTHING. THIS BABY PLAYS LOUD & PROUD!

THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR DISTRACTING POPS, HISSES, CLICKS,TICKS OR BURPS! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES NRMT!!

CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I GIVE THIS LP AN OVERALL GRADE OF EX+ TO NRMT- (MINUS)

WE USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

 

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splitsnot larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Recordshave more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There areNO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G+

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 WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
