Bad Boy Orchestra LP Vinyl - Still Buggin.
First US Pressing - Smokin Records - TAI LP 4444.
Outer sleeve - (VG+ - EX) - Outer sleeve is really nice and clean with some light creasing in places.
Inner Sleeve - (VG+) - Inner sleeve is nice and clean with some creasing.
Vinyl - Vinyl graded under a bright light bulb. When I refer to 'scratches' or marks' these are not deep enough so that they can be felt by the finger.
Vinyl graded under a bright light bulb.
(VG To Play VG+) - Vinyl looks relatively clean with signs of several - many very light looking surface marks which should not affect the vinyl playing well. I feel with the right set up the vinyl should play to a VG - VG+ grading.
Record Collectors Grading system
| Mint (M) | The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. |
| Excellent (EX) | The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. |
| Very Good (VG) | The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable |
| Good (G) | Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc |
| Fair (F) | The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. |
