MINK DE VILLE - SOUL TWIST - ROLENE - 7" PINK VINYL SINGLE.
Vinyl VG+ Sleeve VG+. There are some light surface marks on either side of the vinyl which do not affect playback. Both sides of the disc play well and sound great. Signs of wear to the original picture sleeve from storage.
Please see pics as they form part of the description.
I am not a dealer. All of the
vinyl I sell has been purchased from new by me at the time of its release and
has generally had very little playback as it mainly got recorded on to tape for
use in the car.
Please note: I use the
Goldmine Standard for grading the condition of items listed in the Marketplace.
Mint (M)
Vinyl
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never
been played, possibly even still sealed. Should be used sparingly as a grade,
if at all.
CD
Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, un-played
- possibly still sealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No
wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still
sealed.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
Vinyl
A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- 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.
CD
Near perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have
been played - but it has been handled very carefully.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect.
No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling.
Very Good Plus
(VG+)
Vinyl
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". 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.
CD
A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played,
but handled with good care - and certainly not abused.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear,
marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
Very Good (VG)
Vinyl
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be
more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing,
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.
CD
Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several
more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as
carefully as a VG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear,
marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or
some writing.
Good (G), Good Plus
(G+)
Vinyl
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.
CD
There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it
will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much
care at all.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn,
marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more
significant tear/rip.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
Vinyl
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.
CD
The CD may or may not play some or all of the
tracks. See the seller's comments for details.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It
may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded,
or water damaged.
Standard Jewel Cases: Standard Jewel
Cases are not graded as they are replaceable.
Generic
Within the context of grading items in the
Marketplace, the term "generic" refers to a type of sleeve that is
not specific to the release. A generic sleeve is either a plain sleeve or a
company sleeve with standard company artwork. A sleeve that is graded as
"generic" needs no further grading, as a generic sleeve generally
adds little value to the item and can be easily replaced.
