FS   Factory Sealed

M      Record has never been played. Often, a sealed lp (e.g. Blue Note, Prestige) is opened to check label designation

N   Record may be unplayed or has been played once or couple of times.

N- Record has been played relatively few times-could be considered essentially new; records in this category are often listed as NEW in others' grading codes :

E+   Very little if any surface noise in spots (almost new). Many E+ records could play out as essentially new. This condition should be perfectly fine for most all collectors

E       Slight overall surface noise typical of many older used LPs (should not be a record that is loaded with pops & tics or has scratches). High filters on many stereos could remove the slight overall noise.

E-     Surface and background noise below music level but record is noisy. Can have scratches.

G     Record worn, playable, noise level close to or equal to music level

F       Record very worn, music level same or less than noise level.
