Mint : Original verpackt / Still sealed.

A nearly perfect record. Record or cover show no or very minor wear.

Very good ++: Nicht ganz mint-, jedoch besser als very good + / Not mint -, but better than very good +                                                 

Very good + : Platte mit typischen Spuren regelmäßigen, aber sorgfältigen Gebrauchs, z.B. haarfeine Striche auf dem Vinyl und leichte oberflächenhafte Gebrauchsspuren; keine tiefen Kratzer. Cover z.B. an den Ecken leicht angestoßen, an den Rändern leicht abgenutzt, mit leichtem Plattenrand oder Beschriftung; die Kanten sind intakt, keine Ein- oder Abrisse. Insgesamt ein absolut erfreuliches Exemplar.
Vinyl may show slight surface wear like hairlines or scuffs; no deep scratches. Cover may show minor scuffs on edges, some slight stain wear, ringwear, or writings; no tears, splits or damages. The record has obviously been used but was handled with good care.
