I USE THE UK RECORD COLLECTOR'S GRADING SYSTEM
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
On 07-Aug-09 at 13:29:09 BST, seller added the following information: I'VE HAD A QUESTION REGARDING MATRIX NUMBERS AND AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP HAD MATRIX NUMBERS THAT WERE LATER CROSSED OUT/ALTERED. THIS PARTICULAR COPY HAS NO SUCH AMENDMENTS On 11-Aug-09 at 22:08:59 BST, seller added the following information:I WILL ACCEPT CHEQUES FROM UK BUYERS ONLY, ALL OTHER COUNTRIES PAYPAL ONLY.
