this record is a record that is good enough.
They are not really going
to look very good,.
There will almost always be some surface noise when
they are played.
The Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering
the surface noise.
A VG record will appear well have been played but
still have some luster.
VG covers will look worn, used.
There may be
some seam splitting .
There will be some ring wear, where the ink has
begun to wear off.
Giving the cover a look of snow falling.
If the
artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition.
There may be
some writing on the cover still, no Large letters in magic marker .
It
will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination s in the air
sometimes looking like cigarette smoke .
Still it should be decent.GOOD or G
A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly
abused.
However a Good record should still play.
It will have
distracting surface noise.
Such as crackle that is continuous or some
hiss.
Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being
worn.
It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or
repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches.
Good means that it will play
with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though
you can still hear noise caused from the wear.
A Good cover will have
just about everything wrong with it.
It will have seam splits possibly
taped repaired, but only with scotch tape.
No duct tape or masking tape
repairs.
These are big turn offs.
May have magic marker writing on the
cover but still if they are in huge letters, it is a big turn off.In
essence, the cover will looked virtually trashed, but some artwork will
still be noticed.
If the artwork is worn, it is POOR and the cover is
worthless.Record is shipped outside of cardboard sleeve behind coverand inserted into a 3mil protective sleeve.Premium record mailers are used for shipping with doublecardboard protective backers.We have shipped hi-fi all over the world with a 100 success rate.Feedback can be viewed under the user name:Cleptomaniac13Item is described in full detail with mention of any defects .Customer satisfaction is our 1 goal, if a mistake is made on our behalfplease e-mail us so we can remedy the situation before opening a case.we strive for complete customer satisfaction.
