Van Halen - (1978) - BSK 3075 - Album: VG  Cover: VG  Inner Sleeve: VG Some wear from play, sound is great! Cover shows its age a bit, and the spine has a break or two.  Sleeve is in good condition but the top side glue came undone over time.
Van Halen II - (1979) - HS 3312 - Album: EX  Cover: EX  Inner Sleeve EX Sounds great, plays great, looks great!!  Cover, spine and sleeve are in fantastic condition considering!  Only flaw is a pricing sticker from the 90s
Van Halen Women and Children First - (1980) - HS 3415 - Album:  EX  Cover:  VG  Inner Sleeve: EX- Album is in really great condition and plays well.  Cover is in great condition, it is clear that someone tried to take a price tag off and stopped and the spine is in OK shape with a slight tear.  Inner sleeve is a replacement
Van Halen Fair Warning - (1981) - HS 3540 - Album: EX  Cover: EX  Inner Sleeve: VG+ This by far my favorite Van Halen album.  Album is in great shape!  Cover is too!  Spine is very legible!  Sleeve is original and in good shape as well
Van Halen Diver Down - (1982) - BSK 3677 - Album: VG+  Cover:  VG+  Inner Sleeve:  VG+ Album plays well, cover is in good shape outside of the pricing sticker and the inner sleeve has a split in the seams where the record peeked through at one point or another, but still is in good shape
Van Halen 1984 - (1984) - 1-23985 - Album:  EX  Cover:  VG+  Inner Sleeve: G This record sounds and looks terrific!!   Cover has a cut lower left, spine is in good shape and very legible.  Inner sleeve has seen better days but it is the original!  It is completely separated on one side.  Would recommend not removing the sleeve, outside of inspecting it.

Grading:

Poor (P) or Fair (F)

A P or F rating reflects a vinyl of poor condition. Discs with these ratings often have major noise issues. They skip,repeat and reveal scratching noises often. If you purchase vinyl with a P or F rating, expect badly warped material. Frequently, these records are cracked or have deep scratches. Their covers are either badly damaged or destroyed completely.

Good (G)

While the term “good” might seem positive, arecord carrying a G grade may still be of poor quality. Record enthusiasts often sell records of top quality. If they’ve rated a record as Good, they maybe picking up on undesirable condition traits. Frequently, a G-rated record is sold at a bargain price. It’s useable, but it may have several scratches. Its music has light distortions.

Very Good (VG)

A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use.It’s still useable, but it’ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-rated record often carries light pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and it may have split edges. You can enjoy listening to a VG-rated record, and you can use it as an artistic display, too. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, itsuse will be apparent—both visually and audibly.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The next step up, a VG+ record has littlefaults. It doesn’t, however, have compromised audio or visuals. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub. Its audio may have slight background crackle. If you’ve come across a VG+ record, you’ve found a solid investment. As with a VG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.

Excellent (E)

An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record.Its light marks will be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot of E-rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.

Near Mint (NM)

A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, and it’s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched.Don’t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.

Mint (M)

A Mint record is perfect. It’s never been played, and it might’ve never been removed from its package. It’s fully sealed,and it has no blemishes or audio distortions. Mint vinyl is rare, and it’s incredibly valuable.
