GRADINGS

VINYL-EX-THERE ARE FAINT PLAY LINES UNDER LIGHT,BUT A BEAUTIFUL SHINE AND STILL TIGHT ON THE SPINDLE WHEN YOU PUT IT ON THE PLAYER,PLAYABILITY,THERE ARE LIGHT CRACKLES THROUGHOUT ,THAT IS PROBABLY MORE LIKELY TO BE BECAUSE OF THE STANDARD OF VINYL USED RATHER THAN HOW IT HAS BEEN KEPT.

SLEEVE-VG/EX-A LITTLE CREASED

LYRIC INNER-NEAR MINT

I BASE MY GRADINGS ON THE RARE RECORD GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM WHICH IS AS FOLLOWS

MINT- The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint

EXCELLENT-The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packag­ing might have slight wear and/or creasing

VERY GOOD-The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable sur­face marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD-The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc

FAIR-The record is still just playable but has not been cared for prop­erly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced

ANYTHING BELOW THIS I WILL NOT SELL-ALSO IF A RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED/OPENED I WILL NEVER DESCRIBE IT AS MINT.
