Background.
On a scale of 1 to 10;

4-5; As above but with some in quieter section.
6-7; As above but somewhat persistent.
8-9; Particularly annoying.
10; Someone has cleaned it using a Brillo pad.
On buying vinyl;
I grade all my vinyl by sound, not by looks. I have many L.Ps that look 'Mint' but play only v.g. or v.g.++.
What is almost inevitable is that older vinyl will have the occasional mild click and will certainly have what I call 'background' – the noise of the record/pick-up beneath the recorded sound. This is most evident between tracks and in quieter sections. This is sometimes referred to as 'static' but static can be removed by various means and I therefore regard its use in this context as unintentionally misleading. Some background can be removed by cleaning (See below) but some is due to damage caused by previous use, and in particular by the use of a less than satisfactory stylus. Grading by sight will not detect this damage.
All my records are cleaned using the Loricraft PRC4 and are very,very clean. I do not send out records that are less than v.g.+ unless they are rare and collectable.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or you wish for a more detailed account of any flaws.
No messing about. Money back if you find the grading unsatisfactory. Please read my reviews.
