RECORD GRADING:

For vinyl I visually inspect a record, and if there are scratches I play grade it. Often even long scratches are on the surface of the grooves only and don't affect the sound, but I check anyway.

MINT / SEALED: Must be absolutely perfect and un-played with the shrink wrap still sealed.

NM: Out of the jacket but looks un-played. No visual marks other than fingerprints.

VERY GOOD: A minimum of visual or audible imperfections, which should not detract much from your enjoyment of owning them. Vinyl surface noise and some minor pops and clicks.

GOOD: The item is good enough to fill a gap in your collection until a better copy becomes available. It will show definite signs of wear and tear, but records in good condition should play all the way through without skipping.

If you want a number scale, think of MINT as 10, NM as 9, VG as 8, VG- as 7, G+ as 6, and G as 5. I do not usually sell records below a 6.5 (VG-/G+) unless they are rare and collectable.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: None

MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS versus MOVIE STUDIOTRACKS:

In order to be a "soundtrack" release the music must be the same recording used on the film's soundtrack and heard by audiences in the theaters. If it is another recording, done in a studio for commercial release and not the version used on the film's soundtrack, it is a "studiotrack."

Many fine recordings are studiotracks. My personal favorite version of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is the Ray Heindorf studiotrack released in the 1950s. But I will never call it a soundtrack. It isn't.

I am careful to accurately describe my listings and will not misrepresent the recordings because I am a serious collector. Most sellers don't make the distinction. Many "Music from . . ." albums are called soundtracks when they are not. If it doesn't say "soundtrack" on the record it probably isn't. The correct method, when unsure, is to call it a Film Score.
