GADING:

M = Vinyl has just left the vinyl pressing machine and does not have any manufacturing flaws. It has never been handled and never played. SS = Still Sealed

NM= Vinyl is virtually perfect. At most, perhaps a light scuff appears on the record. It should play without any noise or skips of any kind whatsoever. Record sleeve should look close to perfect with only minor signs of wear.

EX =Vinyl should play with no skips of any kind. It should sound better than it looks. Perhaps some very minor surface scuffs, but again no effect on sound quality. Record sleeve might have some minor "ring wear" but otherwise the artwork should be unaffected.

VG+ (plus) =Vinyl will show wear including surface scuffs and some light scratches. Often, minor scuffs will be caused by the inner sleeve rubbing against the vinyl. If held up to a bright light, you will often see many tiny lines on the vinyl. Perhaps a few minor clicks or pops can be heard, but no deep scratches. Record sleeve should be clean, but slightly more aged.

VG =Vinyl doesn't necessarily look good, but still plays well. Surface noise will probably be present including pops and clicks. At good volume levels, the music should overpower any pops and clicks present. Flaws should only be heard between tracks or on low volume passages. Record sleeve will look warn and used. There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other.

VG-(minus) =Vinyl looks well played, dull, and possibly not well taken care of. However, the record should still play without skipping. It will have substantial surface noise, pops and clicks. Loss of various parts of the dynamic range will occur due to worn grooves. Record sleeve may have many problems including seam splits, writing, taped repairs.

FAIR/POOR = At this point, the vinyl is difficult to listen to. The sleeve is torn, bent, and shows a very high level of wear. The only reason to keep the record would be due to extreme rarity or to fill a good sleeve until a better copy comes along.
