Simplified Grading Guide (Goldmine Standard )
Mint Unopened, still factory sealed or opened but has no visible marks, looks unplayed
N/Mint Near Perfect, played rarely if ever. might have very minor amount 1 to 5% of very slight superficial paper scuffs do not affect play, otherwise mint
EX Almost like new might have a few superficial signs of use that do not effect play. Very well cared for during play
VG+ Some slight signs of wear will have slight sleeve scuffs or lite scratches could have very light background noise some tracks very minor
VG Surface noise will be noticable will not overpower the music, more noticeable scuffs and light scratches will show on the surface
G Vinyl will play but may have surface noise on some tracts, signs of heavy use or wear
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. That said, VG records — which usually sell for no more than 25 percent of a NM record — are among the biggest bargains in record collecting, because most of the “big money” goes for more perfect copies. For many listeners, a VG record or sleeve will be worth the money.
VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–)
These records go for 10 to 15 percent of the Near Mint value, if you are lucky.
Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.
If the item is common, it’s probably better to pass it up. But if you’ve been seeking it for a long time, get it cheap and look to upgrade.
POOR (P)
and Fair (F)
Poor (P) and Fair (F) records go for 0 to 5 percent of the Near Mint value, if they go at all. More likely, they end up going in the trash. Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them. Covers are so heavily damaged that you almost want to cry.
These are absolutely perfect in every way. Often rumored but rarely seen, Mint should never be used as a grade unless more than one person agrees that the record or sleeve truly is in this condition. There is no set percentage of the Near Mint value these can bring; it is best negotiated between buyer and seller.
NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. Many dealers won’t use a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record or sleeve is ever truly perfect.
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)
NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
NOTE: These are high standards, and they are not on a sliding scale. A record or sleeve from the 1950s must meet the same standards as one from the 1990s or 2000s to be Near Mint! It’s estimated that no more than 2 to 4 percent of all records remaining from the 1950s and 1960s are truly Near Mint. This is why they fetch such high prices, even for more common items.
Don’t assume your records are Near Mint. They must meet these standards to qualify!

Condition
Great care is taken to describe the condition of each and every record we offer. We do not take grading lightly . The only surprise you will have will be that it is better than expected. Record Condition: Mint Near Mint ExVG++ VG+ Very Good Good
X
Side one has a moderate scratched area midway between track 3 to midway track 4 and one from track 2 through track 3 Both would "pop" , plus a couple other very small scratches.
Side Two is pretty good but there are a few light scratches that I am pretty sure are audible.
That said .. the surface is bright and shiny and record has seen limited play
Not a copy for the hardcore audiophile but for most listeners this would be an acceptable copy and a chance to own anoriginal Iconic Jazz recording at an affordable price
The edge / rim of 1/4 of the record has a rough to the touch area that in no way affects the playing of the record . It appears that it happened in the manufacturing process. . just to be clear is not on a surface area of the record . If you held the record on edge between your palms it is the part touching your palms.
It appears that when the record was pressed the vinyl may have been a little too cool , or may have had some tiny air bubbles in it . This in no way affects the records performance , in fact it is hardly noticeable. I owned the record for 4 years without noticing this. The rest of the record is as described above
Records may need a cleaning, we leave that for the buyer to do. If you have any questions please email before purchase. Jacket Condition: (also see photo) Mint Near Mint Ex
