Mint (M)

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly,

never been played, possibly even still sealed. Rarely given to an unsealed

record.

Near Mint (NM

or M-)

 A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has

been played sparingly if at all. The vinyl will play perfectly, with no

imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of

wear. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or other similar

defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric

sleeves, etc.

Very Good Plus (VG+ or Ex)

A Very Good Plus record will show

some signs that it was played and otherwise handled with care. Defects should

be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole.

Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very

light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps

that do not affect the sound are "OK". Spindle marks on label may be

present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly

turned-up corners. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, faint ring wear,

or light discoloration in general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong

with it, this would be Near Mint.

Very Good (VG):

 Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will

be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing,

especially in soft passages and during a song?s intro and fade, but will not

overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will

light scratches that may affect the sound. Labels may be marred by spindle

marks, discoloration or stains. LP covers will show obvious signs of wear,

moderate ring wear, small seam splits, discoloration, dinged corners, or stains.

However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, just two or

three of them. 

Good (G), Good Plus (G+):

 A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be

played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise,

scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits,

especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other

defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping,

noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany

the playback.
