Grading
Info:
Mint
(M) -
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even
still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
Near
Mint (NM or M-) - A
nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and
the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many
dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that
no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of
wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects,
such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds,
seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same
should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Very
Good Plus (VG+) - A
Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise
handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of
a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record
surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light
scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do
not affect the sound are "OK". Low surface noise may be evident upon
playing at start or between tracks, but will not impact on the music. The label
may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some
slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover
may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole,
indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things
wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very
Good (VG) -
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, (such as occasional cyclical
pops and audible crackle/hiss), especially in soft passages and during a
song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear
will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with
a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or
have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of
picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems
at the same time. Goldmine price guides with more than one price will list Very
Good as the lowest price.
Good
(G), Good Plus (G+) - A
record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping.
But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear.
A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the
spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the
record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and
"ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor
(P), Fair (F) - The
record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or
repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and
heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it.
Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
