My vinyl record rating guide:          vinyl  /  sleeve

NMINT-         outstanding gloss, should have no surface scuffing at all  /  strong spine with clear, legible print, should be close to perfect

EX                 outstanding gloss, a few light superficial surface scuffs, should play great with crisp, clear analog sound and the possibility of a little light background noise familiar to vinyl lovers most likely during the dead wax spots between tracks  /  strong spine with clear, legible print, may have a little light age wear to the cover or the corners

VG+              superb gloss, some light superficial surface scuffing, should play great with crisp, clear analog sound and some light occasional background noise possible  /  strong spine but the print may be compromised somewhat, some light age wear, but no seam splits or writing on the jacket unless noted in the description

VG                nice gloss, multiple light superficial surface scuffs, should still play well but with a little more background noise possible, should still be an enjoyable listening experience and I will usually play rate these and make it known on the listing  /  cover should be functional but may have some seam splits or writing, I will note all splits or writing in the description

GOOD          good gloss, numerous scuffs, should play though but will have background noise, I will play rate these to make sure that the record plays through without skips, I will not list a record that skips, there may be a "click" on a few rotations, but I will note these in the description, I usually only list records that are more collectable at this rating  /  cover should be functional but will have some seam splits or writing, I will note all splits or writing in the description

FAIR             I will only list these records if they are highly collectable and will describe each one individually

NOTE:          Keep an eye out for some great LPs up for auction in the near future and check my store for more great records.

Vinyl:             VG+  (nice gloss, play's great with a crisp, clean analog sound, there is some light occasional background noise familiar to vinyl lovers, all records cleaned with my VPI record cleaner, I listened to both sides and this is a very enjoyable listening experience of a hard to find first press)

NOTE:            I have just purchased two nice jazz collections with some top shelf listing's coming, one of the collections former owners used tape to catalog his listings, and also would use shipping tape to occasionally "fix" splits seams, this collection is obvious in the listings and I will note any "fixing" on each individual listing, thanks, Steve.
