OUR VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: (record & cover are graded separately in each listing)                                                                                                                                          
SEALED (NEW) ... Never opened, still sealed, presumed mint vinyl.
NM (NEAR MINT) ... The highest grading used for an opened record.  Practically mint, no major flaws if any flaws at all.
VG+/NM (VERY GOOD PLUS TO NEAR MINT) ... Better than VG+ but not quite NM.
VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) ... A great looking record with perhaps a few small imperfections such as superficial hairline scratches only--nothing deep. Cover with a small crease or slight ring formation, nothing hideous, may have a name written on the cover in small print, spine is intact, no splits, no tears, etc.
VG/VG+ (VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD PLUS) ... Better than VG but not quite VG+
VG (VERY GOOD) ... A record with obvious use but not abused.  Visible light scratches, no skips, plays fine with some soft surface noise (crackles and pops).  Cover may have a small split, a light visible ring, rounded corners or a few obvious creases, some writing on the cover.
VG-/VG (VERY GOOD MINUS TO VERY GOOD) ... Better than VG- but not quite VG.
VG- (VERY GOOD MINUS) ... A fairly well-used record that still plays through without skips, some mildly distracting surface noise such as audible clicks and louder pops, and several visible imperfections.  Cover will have several splits, light water damage, several creases, damaged corners, large areas of graffiti, or spine is peeling in areas.
G/VG- (GOOD TO VERY GOOD MINUS) ... Better than G but not quite VG-
G (GOOD) ... Pretty much a filler copy, scratched to hell, may have a skip, lots of background noise like loud clicks, maybe a little warped.  Cover is damaged beyond belief. (We will not be selling records in this condition unless it is a VERY rare and sought-after record, or included in a large lot for a low price, so don't expect to see anything graded "GOOD" very often).
