The grades above will satisfy most any one from collectors
to casual listeners.
The grades that follow can show more surface noise and in particular
surface markings.
VG+
Not quite near mint
VG
Very Good: Used, more defects, some surface noise respectable playback.
This is the line where records really start to show their use.
from here on down, they can be classified as really wanting to
hear it again, I can't wait for a better copy. In grading a record, a G
(Good) record is actually a very Bad record. It is very unusual for
us to offer records with grading as per below, only if the record is quite
rare and nearly impossible to find will we make it available for purchase.
VG-
At the low end of VG noise becoming more pronounced
G+
Still able to play with pronounced constant noise
G
Good: Well played, many defects, surface noise quite pronounced (rarely
offered, unless rare item)
We will not knowingly sell a record that skips or have
extremely pronounced noise, any record that may have a significant flaw
will have a note to describe its condition.
