On my retirement I said to my children “my collect ion of records, books and comics will be yours”, “ not interested, get rid of them” was their reply.  I’m well on with the comics and books and it’s now time to sell my vinyl.

Most of my jazz was purchased during my late teens through my mid-twenties.  Many remained unplayed for 30+ years some having been replaced by CDs while others just stored, their music unheard.  In preparation for their sale I have played each one to check for sound quality and to make sure there were no flaws.  I used my new AudioQuest Anti-Static brush each time.  It was so good listening to this wonderful music and revisting my younger self. I was amazed at what good taste I had when I was young!

Hope you enjoy them as much as me.  

See below for notes on my Grading Strategy

Condition

All records are played and cleaned with the latest AudioQuest Anti-Static Brush before listing.

Record : Near Mint

The vinyl looks glossy and has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl.  The record is flat without warping.  Label is clean and original black, white & grey is bright, undimmed by its 50 years.  Sound is as good as new.

Inner Sleeve is clean, white with very few creases.

Cover: Very Good+

Cover remains rigid and fully protective. Its front has the remnants of a price label towards the upper RH corner.  Minor corner dinting and minimal edge wear. Colour gloss on Zoot’s photo retains all its original vibrancy and is endimmed by its 55 years.   The white area shows minor decline but is still crisp & white. Back cover is white and clean with minor staining around its edges.

A lovely package  

Tom Fisher of near-mint second hand emporium Rat Records describes the fairly universal grading system he uses.  If it's good enough for Tom, It’s good enough for me.

Cover and Record are graded separately.

Vinyl Grading System

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.
