Grading codes;

(essentially, the standard traditional VJM code)

N = new or mint

E = low surface noise

V = high surface noise but listenable

G = very high surface noise; difficult to listen properly

The addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) adds a degree of classification. We are conservative graders, and in our book there’s no such thing as “N”.  The best we will ever use is “N-“ even if we believe a record to be unplayed..

WE STAND BY OUR DESCRIPTIONS AND WE OFFER A NO-QUIBBLE REFUND IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SATISFIED.
