Condition: NM Near Mint: There is a hole punch in the upper right cover corner
Photos shown are of the actual items.I am liquidating a large 47 year old collection of Classical lps and will be listing items periodically. There will be mainly string soloists, chamber music and orchestral items. Being a violist I have many viola recordings.
As you are probably aware, there are many grading scales out there and certain aspects in grading the sound of an lp can be somewhat subjective. It can also vary when taking into consideration the quality of the system that is playing the record and reproducing the sound. I choose to simplify things somewhat so in my offerings a record that does not qualify as near mint will automatically be dropped down to VG+ or VG. Mint condition is only used for sealed records. The grades I assign are generally for the vinyl lp only. I DO PLAY TEST MY RECORDS BY LISTENING TO THEM IN THEIR ENTIRETY PRIOR TO LISTING. Time consuming for me but you know what you are getting.
As far as the covers go, look at the pictures and ask questions if needed. I will mention any flaws that might not be evident in the pics. That being said, honest mistakes and differences of opinion in grading can happen, so if the lp is not as described, please contact me within 7 days to arrange a return and refund (buyer pays return postage).
GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.
NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.
VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.
VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.
GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
