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

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.  Nouvelledu jazz maintains tons of good records,

and our interst is providing every buyer to get 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 the degree of

usability left (how good is it?) and the degree of how extra usage detracts

from its usual value (how bad is it?).  "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 Shoppers

(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, played what?, once a year, hasn't been played much at all

N-the traditional good enough to keep, never have to replace it condition. Any signs of usage are

smooth gentle marks that hardly tough the surface of this lp.

EX+-this type of condition record has been played quite a few times, but no blunt force

collisions with sharp speeding styluses have occurred. A tick or a pop, even a few repeated

seconds of surface noise can occur with the usage involved in 100s of plays in fifty

years or so. But these slight interruptions in microgroove continuity are far outweighed by the

musical enjoyment offered at a reasonable market price.

EX=still excellent sonically, with no shearing or clipped tones, cleaned to the

microscopic level, can be a lot of fun to jam with, as they play good enough

to finish what they start. Not worn enough to throw away.

Other-Anything below this level, will be explained in detail, such as how far it was

it tossed, by an angry junky saxophonist, who later retrieved it

from the street and traded it to a gift shop for a parrot, or ferret.
