VISUAL ONLY. As much as I would LOVE to, I simply do not have time to play test every record. If you want, feel free to get in touch and I?ll do my best to play test, but if that does not happen then my grading is based on visual only. Thanks 

All visual gradings are STRICTLY done under very bright direct light. Please see further down for a definition of each grade.

I will package the records in a proper mailer along with a stiffener. The records will be separated from their sleeve(s) and contained in a poly sleeve. I will post on a Tuesday and a Saturday only due to family and work.

The Boring bit ;

Please find below a grading system that I tend to go by. Hopefully with this there will be no confusion. Thanks. References to audio are only relevant if the record has been play tested (please read above). 

Very Good (VG)

A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use. It?s still useable, but it?ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-rated record often carries pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and it may have split edges. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, its use will be apparent?both visually and audibly.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The next step up, a VG+ record has little faults. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub. Fine needle lines are acceptable, however none of these should be felt by touch. Its audio will likely have slight background crackle. As with a VG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.

Excellent (E)

An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record. Its light marks will be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot of Ex-rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. A handful or less of hairlines may be present. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.

Near Mint (NM)

A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, and it?s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don?t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.

Mint (M)

A Mint record is perfect. It?s never been played, and it might?ve never been removed from its package. It?s fully sealed, and it has no blemishes or audio distortions.
