// GRADING

I take the business of grading vinyl very seriously. My FIVE STAR GRADING SCALE is simple, objective and very strict. It is designed to respect your intelligence as a fellow collector, and take all the mystery out of buying a record sight unseen. I visually grade each piece closely under harsh desktop light, and I am very unforgiving of flaws. When I play-grade, I use a Dual CS-5000 turntable with a new Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. The 2M Black is a highly critical transducer; surface noise has nowhere to hide. 

Here is the FIVE STAR GRADING SCALE that I use for all open records:

M / ????? (MINT /5 stars): Perfect; an absolutely flawless gem.

NM / ???? (NEAR MINT /4 stars): Highly desirable, nearly perfect in every way.

EX /  ??? (EXCELLENT /3 stars): A respectable piece, worthy of any collection, with very few superficial flaws.

VG / ?? (VERY GOOD /2 stars): An acceptable, presentable piece with notable (but not overwhelming) flaws.

 G /  ? (GOOD /1 star): Upgrade needed, but certainly not trash. While this would still be a playable copy, this is the bottom of the scale that I use for selling and, for clarification, I do not sell records in this condition.

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD

SURVIVAL LP 

CAPITOL SW-764

U.S., 1971 FIRST ISSUE

STILL FACTORY SEALED!

CONDITION REPORT

This super clean volume is STILL SEALED in its original factory shrinkwrap. The shrinkwrap is tight all the way around with tears noted halfway across the bottom and two inches at the mouth. Jacket is in true MINT condition with absolutely no ringwear, no shelf wear, no mustiness and no dirt. You won't find better! The text on the spine is almost perfectly centered and highly readable. All four corners and all edges are very sharp and there is no evidence of internal stress. I have every reason to believe that the vinyl inside will be nothing short of stunning NEAR MINT to true MINT. No indication that the 8x10 "caveman" photos of Mark, Don and Mel are enclosed, but I'm betting they are. Either way, you won't be disappointed! No barcode, of course.
