Soda Stereo Sue o Stereo Lp / Ultra Rare Colombia Pressing / Gustavo Cerati

RECORD S GRADING : I use the Goldmine Magazine grading guide , which is considered to be the standard records collectors worldwide :

Mint M : Absolutely perfect in every way, certainly never played and possibly even Still Sealed SS Near Mint NM : A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won t give a grade higher than this, implying that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. The jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits, etc. No cut-out holes either.Very Good VG : Show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surface may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don t affect one s listening experience. Slight warps that don t affect the sound are OK. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up or slight seam split. Jacket may have slight wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taking out of print and sold at a discount. All but the most Mint- crazy collectors will find a VG record highly acceptable.Very Good VG : Many of the defects in a VG are more pronounced in a VG one. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during intro and fades and soft passages, but will not overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel it with a fingernail that will affect the sound. Jacket may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers or their residue attached however, It will have only two or three of them at the same time.Good G : Good does not mean bad. A record in Good or Good can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping or repeating, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches and visible groove wear. The jacket has seam splits tape, writing, ring wear and other defects will start to overwhelm.Poor P / Fair F : The record is cracked, badly warped and won t play through without skipping or repeting. The jacket barely keeps the LP inside it and may be water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and / or writing.
