GRADING
SLEEVE: EX
The sleeve is in nice clean condition. The unlaminated rear is beautifully clean and free from discolouration or wear. The front and spine are perfect. There is a very slight (4mm) split to the bottom edge at the opening.
RECORD: VG+
There are a few light surface marks visible under bright light and a couple of light, non feelable hairlines. There is one small (4mm) feelable mark to the start of side 2. This causes a light crackle for the first 30 seconds or so. There are no loud or obtrusive clicks or ticks.
The above record grading is based on Record Collector magazine’s system:
Near Mint (NM) 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 (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
Fair (F) 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.
