We attempt to grade our vinyl according to Record Collector Magazine guidelines.
All records are play-graded.
MINT
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in
sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster
are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening
in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration
in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated,
perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from
folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable
surface noise it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
The three signatures were collected before the concert at Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, OH on October 4, 1980.
