GRADES
Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been opened or played and usually sealed.
Near Mint (NM) – The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the sleeve or vinyl and the whole package is complete. Sound is without fault.
Excellent (E) – Same as NM, but very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally. Sound is without fault.
Very Good Plus (VG+) – Sleeve and/or disc a little bit worn, light inaudible marks, a bit of background crackle.
Very Good (VG) – A few light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. Visually and audibly acceptable.
Good Plus (G+) - Some pops and clicks, worn but in one piece, some scratches. Visually used, audibly acceptable
Good (G) - Pops and clicks, clearly split or torn, visible scratches. Visually and audibly used.
