Condition Description:
VG, pre-owned condition. No used record is perfect, whether the flaws are visible inaudible/audible scuffs, scratches, or fingerprints and possibly background noise of varying degrees. Some minor warping may exist that will not affect playback. I do my best to disclose the flaws that I do see or come across but please be aware there are times where they may be missed. This record has a few minor scuffs and scratches occasionally, albeit not often, heard. I came across no jumps or skips and the music sounds great. The inside sleeve is a new anti-static archival quality rice paper backed plastic sleeve. The outer sleeve is a gatefold sleeve with an inside pocket. It has some minor handling/storage wear as shown in the photos.

Notes:
Inner Sleeve:
Original
Outer Slipcover Sleeve:
New
Ultrasonically Cleaned:
Yes
Most records will be ultrasonically cleaned unless they appear to be new, or for whatever reason I chose not to clean them. Please keep in mind that while this is the preferred way to clean vinyl, it's not guaranteed to clean records 100%. There may be occasions where gunk or greasy fingerprints may still remain on the record. I'll let the buyer use their preferred cleaning method to finish cleaning the remaining soil ultrasonic cleaning doesn't get to.
.
All
records will be shipped with an inside sleeve whether it's new or
original and a plastic outer cover to protect from shipping scuffs. Then it (they) will be placed inside a very high quality protective packaging to ensure no shipping damage occurs once your package is in the shipper's hands.
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ BELOW TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE GRADE
I do the best I can in sampling each record for quality of sound. Unfortunately I cannot listen to every
one all the way through but I do select a section of the album that appears to be the worst and make
a judgement from that. That's not to say that it will be the worst quality of sound, but it will physically
look like it should be.
Please
note that we are not a grading nor record collecting professionals. We
use our best judgement using the grading system shown below. Please
refer to the photos of each item to see the condition for yourself and
ask questions if you have any.
As
an example; if there is an item that somebody might grade with a + or
++, we will give it the same grading, removing the +'s. ie. "VG++"
becomes "VG" according to our system.
Here are the general grading rules we use. Again, no + conditions will be applied:
Mint - Sealed, assumed perfect record inside the sleeve.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played but there is no deterioration of sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and an occasional light scuff and/or scratch.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times and has mild scuffs and/or scratches and displays lessening of sound quality.
Good (G) - The record has been played so much the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated perhaps with some distortion and scratches.
Fair (F) - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump.
Poor (P) - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
Bad (B)- The record is unplayable and might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler.
eBay's item specifics grading categories will be used in this way:
Recording Grading - The condition of the vinyl
Sleeve Grading - On an LP it's the main outer sleeve. For a 45 it will be the paper sleeve.
Inlay condition - This will be used for items that originally came inside the album; pictures, stickers, literature..etc.
