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.
