The Arman Ratip Trio – Introducing.......
Jazz a la Turk, Love Story and Fatima
Vinyl condition very good
Sleeve condition good
Gradings used.
MINT : Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever.
NEAR MINT : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be close to perfect .
EXCELLENT : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.
VERY GOOD record shows slight wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great lustre, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG grade. COVER: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more ageing. The back usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.
GOOD : this record will play well. There will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The Dynamics should still be good, overpowering the surface noise. The record will appear well played but have some lustre. Covers may look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting . There may be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off. Giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than good condition. There may be some writing on the cover ( no Large letters in magic marker). It may look aged and more yellowish due to contamination's in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke).
FAIR. Will look well played, dull, greyish and possibly abused. However a Fair record will still play. It may have distracting surface noise' such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Fair means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. A Fair cover may have seam splits (possibly tape repaired).
On a scale from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Perfect) the above gradings are equivalent to:
MINT - 10, Near Mint - 9, Excellent - 8, Very Good - 7 , Good - 6 , Fair – 4
