RECORD  GRADING CODE

Records and jackets are graded conservatively, no over grading.

accurate playback systems are used to check degree of any surface wear.

remnants of surface wear left from storage. Any marks are examined in

detail and checked for surface noise. Marks in the vinyl pressing are

not usually graded as wear.

EX+ =  A RECORD PLAYED SEVERAL TIMES, HIGH AUDIO QUALITY, MINOR SURFACE NOISE BELOW THE MUSIC LEVEL POSSIBLE.

EX = A RECORD WITH BETTER THAN AVERAGE LISTENABILITY, OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE, 

VG+ = RECORD USED QUITE A BIT, CAN HAVE AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SURFACE NOISE, NO HEAVY WEAR.
