: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly
even still sealed.
More on still sealed below .
NEAR
MINT NM or M- : A nearly perfect record.
Many dealers won t give a
grade higher than this implying perhaps correctly that no record is
ever truly perfect.
The record shows no obvious sign of wear.
A 45 rpm
sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost
invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket
has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar
defect.
No cut-out holes, either.
And of course, the same is true of
any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like.
Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record
store and removed the shrink wrap.VERY
GOOD PLUS VG : Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise
handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Record surfaces
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 do not affect the sign are OK.
The label may have some ring
wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable.
The center
hole is not misshapen by repeated play.
Picture sleeves and LP inner
sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight
seam-split.
An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be
marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken
out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple
of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
All but the
most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly
acceptable.
VERY
GOOD VG : Many of the defects found in a VG record are more
pronounced in a VG disc.
Surface noise is evident upon playing,
especially in soft passages and during the song s intro and fade, but
will not overpower the music otherwise.
Groove wear will start to be
noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a
fingernail that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by
writing, or have tape or stickers or their residue attached.
The same
will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
However, it will not have
all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
GOOD
G , GOOD PLUS G : Good does not mean bad A record in Good or
Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through
without skipping.
But it will have significant surface noise and
scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve has seem splits,
especially at the bottom or on the spine.
Tape, writing, ring wear or
other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
POOR
P , FAIR F : The record is cracked, badly warped, and won t play
through without skipping or repeating.
The picture sleeve is water
damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or
writing.
The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it.
Inner sleeves are
fully seam split, and written upon.
STILL
SEALED SS : Let the buyer beware, unless it s a U.S.
pressing from
the last 10-15 years or so.
It s too easy to reseal on.
Yes, some
legitimately never-opened LPs from the 1960s still exist.
But if you re
looking for a specific pressing, the only way you can know for sure is
to open the record.
Also, European imports are not factory-sealed, so
if you see them advertised as sealed, someone other than the
manufacturer sealed them.
