RECORD GRADING
Records are graded as follows:
M
Mint
Must be in perfect condition with no audible or visible defects whatsoever. The record and cover/sleeve should be exactly as brand new.
NM
Near Mint
Almost mint but has one or two minor visible marks on the cover/sleeve or surface with sound quality remaining perfect.
EX
Excellent
Not quite perfect. There may a slight chance of minor deterioration in sound quality. The cover/sleeve may show slight wear.
VG
Very Good
The surface and cover/sleeve shows visible signs of wear due to the fact that it has been played on a regular basis. There will be some audible surface noise but it will not effect the listening experience.
G
Good
The sound quality has deteriorated due to having been played often. The cover/sleeve and surface will show considerable signs of wear and tear with some possible damage.
F
Fair
Has been neglected, but is still playable. There will be major audible defects such as loud clicks or jumping. The cover/sleeve maybe badly damaged.
P
Poor
Technically playable, but with serious deterioration in condition and sound quality. The cover/sleeve will be badly damaged.
VP
Very Poor
In terrible condition and absolutely unplayable. Would only be of use as a last resort to complete a collection.
