About this seller:

*making space in the blue room—so I can buy more wax!*

I’m an avid record collector and DJ selling off underplayed records to make space in my tiny Brooklyn music room. Everything is guaranteed to play smoothly on professional turntables, from a smoke-free home and treated with care. But it’s also been PLAYED—carried to clubs, spun, and loved. I want to pass it on. Grading (record and sleeve) is my best, in good faith, assessment of its condition, based on the Goldmine standard used by Discogs. (see below). All wax will be cleaned before shipping. As BPMs are sometimes written on inner labels (by me or by previous owners), I determine case-by-case whether it’s best to erase it or leave it. I will offer returns only if there’s an egregious scratch that I somehow missed. Otherwise, this is my price for this record. Thanks for looking, and check out my other listings.

Grading:

Goldmine Standard.

Abbreviated version:

Mint (M)

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback.  Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.

Very Good Plus (VG+) / Excellent

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole.  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.  Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

Very Good (VG)

Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing... Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits.

Poor (P), Fair (F)
