Dire Straits Brothers In Arms LP Vinyl 1985 Warner Bros Shrink 1-25264 VG+ / VG+.
All records sold outside of auctioned records come with a plastic jacket protector over the record. All records will also have a clean inner sleeve.
Grading Standards: I take grading seriously and grade conservatively. If I don't feel confident in my grade, I will grade down.
My grade can be found in the title and the item specifics. In the title, I always grade Vinyl Grade/Jacket Grade.
Vinyl Grading Standards:
Mint: Only sealed records are considered mint.
NM : Near Mint : I rarely grade NM. No scratches and clean inlays. This would leave one wondering if it's been played.
VG++: Looks great, sounds new. Can have up to 3 scratches per side.
VG+: May have some light scratches. Usually less than 10 per side. Does not affect sound quality. Expected to have sound quality close to near mint.
VG: Has alot of scratches. Usually more than 10 on each side. May have slight affect on sound quality. The primary example is crackling that can be present on quieter sections.
G+ or G: I generally wouldnt sell these unless the record is ultra rare. These can have pops or crackling even over loud sections.
Jacket Grading Standards:
M: Sealed, no storage wear.
EX: Sealed, slight storage wear such as minor ring wear or some rubbing on the edges of the jacket.
VG++: Still in shrink, no damage.
VG+: May have one small imperfection such as some fading on the binding.
Vg: May have 2 imperfections such as ring wear and a signature.
G+: has 3 imperfections such as ring wear,
signature, and a tear on the binding.
G: Has 4 or more imperfections. Generally is not a great sleeve for collectors. Usually structurally intact so it can still hold or preserve the vinyl
