A word on Grading

Mint: New record, never played, no signs of wear or use

Excellent: Record is as good as new and still very shiny, visually and acoustically perfect

VG+: Shiny record with some hairlines, plays very well with light imperfections such as occasional clicks

VG: Record plays well with light imperfections such occasional clicks and crackling

VG-: Signs of wear, plays well with clicks or constant light or intermittent crackling, still enjoyable, the sound is still dominating the imperfections

G: Used record with evident signs of wear, even deeper scratches, surface noise starts being distracting, but still plays without skips (a good record is not a bad record)

Fair: Many scratches, still playable but with strong and distracting background noise, record might skip once or twice but does not repeat.

Poor: Record skips, repeats, does not play through or only with noise louder than the music. Filler copy. I will usually not sell records in this condition
