Jacket condition: G+
Record condition: VG
Notes: The cover is rough with ring wear, seam and corner wear, and considerable age yellowing on front and back. Both seams are split and taped for their full lengths. As noted, the labels are 3" inch King versions and are in pretty nice condition with a some light spindle marks. The vinyl has good gloss with enough light surface scratches to warrant grading it down some to VG. It plays well with a little intermittent light surface noise.
Grading: Grading is usually only visual for VG+ or better items, although if time allows I may play to verify the quality of a pressing or just to hear the music. VG items are usually only listed if they are fairly hard-to-find items and are always play graded. Regardless of the grade, if I do play the LP, I note the results in the item description. I use Goldmine standards with Ebay's EX grade added for items NOT QUITE up to NM.
Please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions.
