Grading: 

We have been buying and selling records for decades and have worked at and managed record stores in addition to professionally converting vinyl to digital formats. 

All records are visually graded unless otherwise noted. 

Please note that many imperceptible factors can degrade the sound of an LP, including pressing defects, vinyl quality, recording techniques, and mastering, among others. 

Please be aware that it is possible that an item will not play at the standard to which it was graded for the above or other reasons.

We stand by our visual grading and do out best to grade fairly and accurately and appreciate your understanding of factors beyond our control and observational skills.

Our grading system is based on the Goldmine Standard, and is as follows*:

SS (Still Sealed) – Unopened, new LPs in their original factory shrink wrap. These records are generally presumed to be mint, but that may not always be the case due to manufacturing defects, sleeve scuffing and minor warping. For these reasons we are unable to guarantee the condition of the record inside and sealed records are non-returnable once opened.

M (Mint) – A perfect and likely unplayed record. This is the highest grade we will give a record that is not sealed and we use it sparingly.

NM (Near Mint) – A like-new record with only the slightest evidence that it has ever been played or handled. 

EX (Excellent) – Close to like-new with only very minor indicators of use that will not affect playback. EX records should satisfy all but the most critically demanding audiophiles. Covers will be very sharp with only slight imperfections.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) – Used but well-taken care-of and will exhibit only minor defects. VG+ records may show signs of wear including, but not limited to scuffing, minor scratches, slight warps, spindle marks, and light ring wear, cutouts or other markings, and minor seam wear on covers and labels. VG+ records are great copies for all but the most discerning listeners.

VG (Very Good) – Average, well-used records that still sound good enough for the majority of listeners to enjoy. These records will usually play with some surface noise from scratches, scuffs, and groove wear. They may lack the gloss of cleaner, factory-fresh records and have deep scratches and visible groove wear. Covers will show conisderable signs of handling or storage, and may have writing, tears, seam splits and other wear.

Good - We try not to sell records below VG-, except for very rare items or items bundled in lots. These records are not terrible, but will play back with considerable noise due to serious wear and scratches. They should not skip, but this of course depends on your turntable setup. Covers in this condition may show heavy wear but are not trashed. Tape, fully split seams, heavy writing and tears are common. These are often considered filler copies which someone might get until a better copy is available.

Fair & Poor - These are very low grades and we rarely sell records of this low quality. These are basically "play-at-your-own-risk" which are in very poor condition all around and have been neglected or abused.

* We may amend a grade with a plus (+) or minus (-) indicating that the record is slightly better or worse than one of the standard grades. For example, A record that is not quite Near Mint but a bit better than Excellent could be EX+ or NM- depending on which grade most accurately represents the condition. We do not use multiple plus or minus signs (+++ or --) as that is just plain confusing. ______________________________________________________________________________
