MEDIA GRADE

N (New) = The record may be unplayed or has been played with great care. There may be tiny hairline marks or a very light scuff visible under light and very close inspection. Vinyl should still have a nice glossy shine depending on the age. If there are multiple hairline marks, those would be listed as N- (New Minus). Should have zero playback issues of course.

MEDIA & COVER CONDITION:

The grading system is slightly DIFFERENT from Goldmine's standard. Years ago these were all visually and most (I can't promise all), were play graded. Before listing, I give another visual grade under proper lighting, but I did not play grade since it likely was already done. To avoid grading conflicts I typically will list one grade lower.

Cover: I don't grade covers, rather I take picutes of significant damage.

FS = Factory Sealed (shirkwrap unopened)

N (New) = The record may be unplayed or has been played with great care. There may be tiny hairline marks or a very light scuff visible under light and very close inspection. Vinyl should still have a nice glossy shine depending on the age. If there are multiple hairline marks, those would be listed as N- (New Minus). Should have zero playback issues of course.

N- (New Minus) = These records will have light surface hairline marks. Often, only visible upon close inspection or under a bright light. There may be minor signs of the record being taken in and out of the inner sleeve, or some signs of general use. These records will offten still have a nice gloss and shine. Most will find this grade to be better than expected. Any minor visual imperfections will NOT affect playback.

E+ (Excellent Plus) = Very little if any surface noise in spots. Many E+ records could play out as essentially new. Often will have multiple minor surface scratches or scuffs that are NOT deep and only surface level. Should be suitable for most.

E (Excellent) = Slight overall surface noise typical of much older used LPs (should not be a record that is loaded with pops & tics. Should NOT have any scratches that could be felt, however, multiple surface scratches/scuffs will be present). High filters on many stereos could remove the slight overall noise. Should play fine without much disruption.

E- (Excellent Minus) = Surface and background noise below music level but the record may be noisy. Will have scratches. Scratches on E- graded records will typically be slightly more significant than hairline, but should not have significant deep scratches. Scratches and scuffs should still be mostly surface but will be longer are more visual scratches. E minus grades may have similar imperfections to those of E or E plus but will be more of them.

Very rarely I will sell G or F unless it's a very rare and sought-after record that is still desirable even in the following media conditions.

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

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

BACKGROUND

The vinyl listings on my eBay store The Vinyl and Collectible Shop are from my late husband's business stock inventory that was around 80,000 records (separate from his world-renown personal collection of 20,000+ originals). At present, what's for sale are about 20-30,000 fantastic condition business stock vinyl. My husband had been seriously collecting jazz instrumental and jazz vocal LPs since the 1950s. He was a radio jazz DJ for 40+ years as well as a jazz promoter. He has contributed to many jazz discographies and other jazz publications as well as radio, movies, and television. He was the recipient of several jazz awards. Also, he was the representative of the famous jazz artist David Stone Martin. The records that will be listed are only a fraction of the greater collection that includes rare and out of print jazz Lps and highly sought collectible jazz literature and artwork to collectors and institutes worldwide.
