NM - Looks unplayed or perhaps played just a few times. The cleanest grade I give and rarely used. EX - Very light surface marks often from the inner sleeve that do not affect play. Perhaps a very light tick or brief moment of barely audible surface noise at the very worst. Overall a very clean record. VG+ - Light surface noise during a quiet moment or two. Might play with a few light pops here and there but nothing sustained over more than a few seconds. VG - Surface noise is more pronounced or more frequent than in a VG+ record, but never skips or overtakes the music. Might play with some light pops or ticks for a minute or two at a time. Still an enjoyable listen.
