VISUALLY, THE THICK VINYL PLATTER IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION!

I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THE THICK RARE PLATTER  HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S DEEP ORIGINAL LUSTER. PLENTY OF SHINE HERE! I DO SEE A FEW VERY MINOR SCUFFS/HAIRLINE AND A COUPLE OF NEEDLE MARKS. NOTHING EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FEEL-ABLE NOR DO THEY EFFECT THE INCREDIBLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE! I GRADE THE VINYL AS EX++ TO NRMT-!

THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR STICKERS, AND GRADE NRMT!

OVERALL I GRADE THE VINYL AS EX++ TO NRMT-!

THE MEGA-RARE COVER  PRESENTS VERY WELL! THERE IS NO WRITING, OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SPINE SHOWS SOME WEAR BUT IS STILL STRONG  & TOTALLY READABLE! THERE 1 SMALL START OF A SPLIT TO THE UPPER SEAM ABOUT 1 " LONG  AS WELL AS A SMALL PIECE OF TAPE IN THE CENTER OF THE LOWER SEAM. OTHERWISE THE SEAMS ARE STRONG & TIGHT! THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WAS CLIPPED AND THERE IS A VERY FINE SLICE LINE IN THE CENTER OF THE COVER. THERE IS VERY LITTLE EVIDENCE OF ANY RING/SHELF WEAR TO FRONT SIDE AND VERY MINOR WEAR TO THE REVERSE! THE REVERSE SIDE IS VERY CLEAN & TOTALLY READABLE.

BASED ON THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES EX+

I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS OUTSTANDING!!! IF YOU LISTENED VERY VERY CLOSELY THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE OCCASIONALLY NOTICEABLE MOSTLY IN THE QUITE PASSAGES. (INHERENT TO THE PRESSING NOT FROM ANY MARKS!) BUT NOTHING DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY! YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO NOTICE ANYTHING. THIS BABY PLAYS LOUD & PROUD!

CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I GIVE THIS LP AN OVERALL GRADE OF EX++ TO NRMT-

ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL INSPECTION.

MINT

Mint records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap itself.

NEAR-MINT

NM records have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should not contain any spindle marks(from someone blindly trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and well-cared for)The album cover will haveNO writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits,stains, ring wear or Promo holes or cuts!

VG+(EXCELLENT)

VG+records have glossy vinyl. Slight signs of wear, including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping that does not seriously affect the listening experience is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise mostly in the quiet passages is acceptable.

The album cover will have no more than three of the following imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one area, minor creasing, seam splitsnot larger than 1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less.It may also contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp, punch hole or cut-out as originally sold.

VG

VG Records have more obvious flaws such as more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common. When played there will be surface noise but it should not continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force. It is common to hear crackling and pops especially in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

VG-

VG- All of the defects listed VG category would be more pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. The record will have many obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if the record is rare, it is still highly collectible.

G+

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping WITH tracking force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are permissible. It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
