OUR GRADING SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS:
G
- Record will have noticeable to heavy surface and/or label wear (deep
groove scratches, torn labels, multiple hairlines etc). Record is still
playable, but heavy background noise ie. Static/Pops/Clicks are certain.
G+
- Record will have slightly less surface and/or label wear than a G
grade. Vinyl is slightly reflective and the record will be visually in
acceptable playing condition. Background noise ie. Static/Pops/Clicks
are certain.
VG
- Record will have moderate surface wear and/or minor label wear
(medium hairlines, minor marking on labels, light scratches etc.)
scattered background noise may be present.
VG+
- Record will have minimal surface wear and/or minor label wear (Small
hairlines, minor label wear, faint scratches etc.) The record has
definitely been played but has been well stored and cared for. A medium
amount of background noise may or may not be present.
VG+/NM
- Record will have little surface wear, but not enough to have a true
NM grading. Vinyl will be reflective and visually in overall very good
playing condition with minor surface wear to vinyl and/or labels
(handful of minor hairlines, small amount of general surface wear etc.) A
small amount of background noise may or may not be present. A majority
of records in our stock carry this grade.
NM
- Record shows almost no surface wear with clean labels and reflective
vinyl (one or two small hairlines but no less). Record has been very
well stored and cared for and is in almost like new condition with very
little to no wear.
M - Our highest grading. This rating is reserved for sealed, unplayed records in brand-new condition
All of our records are cleaned and visually inspected under bright fluorescent light to ensure accurate grading.
