 RECORD  GRADING CODE

Records and jackets are graded conservatively, to ensure satisfaction.

accurate playback systems are used to check any surface marks.

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

detail and checked for surface noise. Silent, unobtrusive marks in the 

 pressing are usually a pattern in the vinyl formation, not wear.

M = MINT or N - MINT - RECORD NEVER USED/SELDOM USED, FRESH VINYL WITH NO SIGNS OF WEAR.

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.
