Near Mint (NM)
A
nearly perfect record. A (NM) record has more than likely never been
played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during
playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or
EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any
sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam
splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same
should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves,
etc.
Excellent (EX)
An
Excellent (EX) record will show some signs that it was played and
otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects
should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback
as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have
slight scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect
the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration,
but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present.
Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly
turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight
signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut
corner.
Very Good (VG)
Many
of the defects found in an (EX) record will be more pronounced in a
(VG) disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in
soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower
the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with
light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect
the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers
(or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or
LP covers.
