VG++: (VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS): Nearly perfect. Handled slightly. Shows no obvious signs of wear.

VG+: (VERY GOOD PLUS): Slight signs of wear and use such as sleeve scuffs, light marks, very light scratches, which will have almost no audible or visual defect or deterioration. 

VG: (VERY GOOD): Obviously played and noticeably less than perfect. General wear may contain light scratches that you can feel with your finger, that may produce a short series of light tics. May also include, marks, scuffing, smudges, groove wear, loss of gloss, and warps which do not affect play.

Also may include minimal surface noise, especially during soft passages and intro, but surface noise that will not be over powering. 

VG-: (VERY GOOD MINUS): Abundant signs of play such as feelable  scratches, gray grooves, continuous noise, excessive ticks, pops and wear but still a listenable record. A lot of records with this grade may look bad but still play good.
