Mint M Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.
Near Mint NM The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played once or twice. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent EX Same but I d tolerate VERY LIGHT marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good Plus VG A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record audibly. A little rub, light inaudible but somehow visible marks, a little background crackle.
Very Good VG It s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.
Good G To be honest you re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.
