Record Grading
Each entry indicates
reference number, speed (LP/45), Artist, Title, Label, Label #, Condition,
comments and price. All prices are in US dollars.
Unless noted, every record is an original
issue for the label and catalog number given. Heres a brief explanation of my
grading system, followed by an overview of abbreviations you will encounter...
SS Still Sealed - in
factory-fresh condition
M Mint - I don't use
this grade.
M- Mint Minus - a
near perfect, probably unplayed record
VG+ Very Good Plus
close to like new with only superficial signs of use that dont affect
play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all
but the most demanding collector.
VG Very Good - a used,
reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility
of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still
quite nice.
VG- Very Good Minus -
significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.
G+ Good Plus. In the
record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're
talking about beat-up records.
