Vinyl & Sleeve Gradings:
This is a visual grading system. Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light by 1 person to maintain consistency. While most of our customers agree with our grades, we realise it is a subjective issue and opinions differ. If you are unhappy with the condition of any record you simply return the record (at your cost) within 14 days of receipt and we guarantee to refund the full amount of your payment.
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played.
Near Mint (NM)
A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects, such as invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
Excellent (EX)
Will show some signs that it has been played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces will show some signs of wear and have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Labels may have some wear or discolouration but it will be barely noticeable. Sleeve will have some light wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. In general if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors would find an Excellent record highly acceptable.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect play. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "ok". The label may have some ring wear, discolouration or WOL. Sleeve will have some wear, lightly turned up corners, slight seam splits or small tears/sticker damage. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a VG+ record highly acceptable.
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, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. 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. Sleeve may have creases, tears, seam splits and may be marred by writing and or sticker damage.
Good Plus (G+)
Will play through without skipping, but will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. Labels may be torn, marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. Sleeve may have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects.
Good (G)
Will have been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated. Will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. May crackle, pop or make other annoying sounds. Labels may be torn, marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. Sleeve may be water damaged, split on all three seams, heavily marred by wear and writing or other defects.
Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn stained and /or partly missing.
Poor (P), Bad
Unplayable. May be broken, cracked, warped and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The sleeve may be water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. Unless the record or sleeve is very rare you should pass it up. This is a collection filler only. Do not buy it to play it!
Plain Sleeve/Generic
This has no picture sleeve and will be sent in a new plain sleeve.
