_____________________________________________

JazzRecordsScene uses standard discographical terms for grading.

A conservative grading philosophy is used to ensure customer satisfaction.

Any problems with a record will be handled courteously and satisfaction in the form of refund, credit or exchange will be offered.

We have had extensive experience dealing with collectors of jazz for many years and our interest is making you happy with your purchase.

 A conservative grading philosophy is used to ensure customer satisfaction.

*---------------------------------------------------------------*

The discographical grading code that was adopted before WW II by pre LP collectors was designed both to prevent misrepresentation,

which was prevalent even then, but to get a clear definition of consistent usage of terms used to describe the condition of 78 rpms,

that are still actively traded by the purist genre. Today, the wasted effort involved in returning records the buyer doesn't like is just as big

 a turn off now as it was in 1933.

JazzRecordsScene stores tons of good records, and our interest is to provide every buyer a good mint, near mint record,

or in the case of "As-Is" condition lps, where the musical interest of the LP is strong to collectors of jazz music,

a balance of fair price based on condition and level of usability, and the assurance that our mildly to fairly used

"As-Is" records are cleaned up, and still fun to listen to on good equipment, or they won't be offered.

Here's the Grading Code for Record Collectors

(May you hope for Fair Skys for your flying stylus, no turbulence in the undisturbed grooves of your vinyl)

N or N/NM - grooves are undisturbed, never breathed on record surface, cleaned to remove any miniature cosmic debris.

NM/N-a virtually unmarked disc, that has had careful and considerate usage.

N-  A dependable standard for excellence in condition. Literally meant, this grade includes minimally invasive paper marks, fingernail marks, and slight smudges from usage that do not have any audio effect,  records graded to this level will have only a very light measure of these kinds of inaudible surface marks..

 EX+- A record that has been played quite a few times,  with sufficient care to ensure continued musical enjoyment. A tick or a pop, even a few repeated seconds of surface noise can occur at this quality level. The slight and occasional interruptions in microgroove continuity are far outweighed by the musical enjoyment offered to the listener. Expect a groovy sounding LP.

 EX- A record still excellent sonically, with no shearing or clipped tones, cleaned to the microscopic level, it will play revealingly to please most levels of audio awareness, with light background surface noise possible.

Other-records with below average to average surface wear condition-if useful musically, they will find a home. Astute collectors will find many bargains in the VG+/EX range due to advances in audio cleaning/restoration.
