Vinyl Condition Side 1 - Very Good (VG) There is a fault on the run-in and for the first 30 seconds at start of Track 1, there are no skips, no jumps and record plays through,and there are no feelable scratches, The run-in is noisy then for 30 seconds at start of Track 1 clicks & crackle can then be heard (this may be a pressing fault or needle damage? it was like that when bought second hand) I rate that first 30 seconds as Good (G) as it plays through the fault, once through that the rest of the side plays Very Good Plus (VG+) with only occasional light crackle.
Hence my average rating for side 1 of Very Good (VG)
Vinyl Condition Side 2 - Very Good Plus (VG+) No skips, no jumps and record plays through, and no feelable scratches just some occasional light crackle.
Label Condition (both sides) - Very Good Plus (VG+) no writing, no labels stuck on.(see photo's)

Collection Welcome
Cheers Thanks For Looking

Very Good Plus (VG+): Will show signs of prior use (very light scuffs, surface marks, etc) but these defects will be cosmetic in nature. Surface noise, if present, will certainly not overpower the music, and there will be no repeating clicks present. No marks on the vinyl should be feelable to the touch. The sleeve may have the odd blemish or crease. Overall, a very nice collector’s copy.

Very Good (VG): Will play through fine, but the disc may have more obvious signs of use. Typically, these will be light marks that shouldn’t affect playback too much (if at all), although occasionally there may be a scratch that is feelable to the touch. The music will play loud and clear, although surface noise may be present. 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) or Good Plus (G+): 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.
