All
my vinyl I have put up for sale are from my personal collection from over the
years. I have tried to show the condition in the photo’s as much as possible,
so please inspect the photo’s closely as they are 99% of the description. I
have graded the vinyl and sleeve using the Goldmine Standard for Grading
(Outlined below). If a part of the sleeve/vinyl has any particular remark, it
will be at the beginning of the description above. I have tried to be as accurate
as I can in the grading and ALL my vinyl has been cleaned and played through
before posting for sale. If you have any questions, please ask. Delivery by Ebay Packlink
SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE
WILL NOT SHIP OVERSEAS
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.
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.
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. Goldmine price guides with more than one
price will list Very Good as the lowest price.
