BOPPIN'
VISUALLY, THE VINYL PLATTER IS
IN NRMT- CONDITION. THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT
THIS WAS EVER EVEN
PLAYED!
I HAVE EXAMINED THIS
UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THE BEAUTIFUL PLATTER HAS
RETAINED ALL OF ITS DEEP RICH LUSTER....NOTHING BUT
SHINE! A FEW EXTREMELY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL PAPER SCUFFS THAT
ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN SEE! NOTHING THAT WOULD
EFFECT THE LISTENING
EXPERIENCE!
THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY WRITING OR
STICKERS AND ARE IN NRMT AS WELL! THERE IS A STICKY AREA
ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL BUT NO PAPER
LOSS.
OVERALL I GRADE THE
VINYL AS NRMT
THE
COVER IS PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO
SPLITTING, WRITING, TAPE OR STICKERS ANYWHERE! THE SPINE IS
STRONG, TIGHT AND PERFECTLY READABLE.
THE SEAMS ARE UN-SPLIT & NICE AND TIGHT!
THERE IS EXTREMELY MINOR EVIDENCE OF RING/SHELF WEAR
TO THE FRONT AND REVERSE SIDE. I WOULD SAY 1 ON A SCALE OF
10.
THE
REVERSE SIDE LINER NOTES ARE INFORMATIVE TOTALLY
READABLE & EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN.
BASED ON THE
ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS THE COVER GRADES NRMT- AND PRESENTS
VERY PROUDLY!
I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE
LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS EXCELLENT! THERE WAS SOME VERY MINOR NOISE THAT COULD BE HEARD DURING A COUPLE OF SELECTIONS. THIS MUST BE INHERENT TO THE PRESSING AS THE VINYL IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN! CERTAINLY NOTHING I CONSIDERED DISTRACTING AT ALL.
OVERALL THE
LISTENING EXPERIENCE GRADES EX+!
OVERALL
CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE I GIVE THIS ROCKIN' LP A GRADE OF EX+ TO NRMT-

WE
USE GOLDMINE AS GUIDELINE FOR OUR GRADING SYSTEM.
ALL
RECORDS ARE VISUALLY INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. I TRY TO
PLAY GRADE WHEN POSSIBLE OR AT LEAST IN ANY AREAS IDENTIFIED
AS QUESTIONABLE FROM THE VISUAL
INSPECTION.
MINT
Mint
records are in most cases sealed in original shrink wrap. The
only wear permissible is to the shrink wrap
itself.
NEAR-MINT
NM records
have glossy vinyl. There are no visible defects such as
writing, tape, or stickers on the labels. The labels should
not contain any spindle marks (from someone blindly
trying to put the record on the turntable) The vinyl may have
a few extremely fine hairline scratches or light scuffs that
do not affect the sound quality. The vinyl will "appear" to
have been unplayed (It may very well have been played and
well-cared for) The album cover will have NO
writing, tape, creases, folds, seam splits ,stains, ring
wear or Promo holes or
cuts!
VG+ (EXCELLENT)
VG+ records have glossy vinyl.
Slight signs of wear,
including light scuffs, very light scratches or slight warping
that does not seriously affect the listening experience
is permissible. Very slight intermittent background noise
mostly in the quiet passages is
acceptable.
The album
cover will have no more than three of the following
imperfections: light writing such as initials or name in one
area, minor creasing, seam splits not larger than
1". Neatly taped seams of 2" or less. It may also
contain very slight ring wear or discoloration, a promo stamp,
punch hole or cut-out as originally
sold.
VG
VG Records have more obvious flaws such as
more pronounced scratches & lack of gloss. Groove wear and
scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail are common.
When played there will be surface noise but it should not
continuously overpower the music. There are NO skips
permissible with no more than 1.5 grahams of tracking force.
It is common to hear crackling and pops especially
in the quiet passages. The labels may contain writing such as
a persons name or initials or it may contain a piece of tape
or sticker with or without writing. The cover may have some
seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and
scuffs.
VG-
VG-
All of the defects listed VG category would be more
pronounced. The record will play through without skipping WITH
tracking
force. A quick skip or two with no more that 2.5 grahams of
tracking force are permissible. The record will have many
obvious flaws but still enjoyable to listen to. Generally if
the record is rare, it is still highly
collectible.
G/G+
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 WITH tracking force. A quick skip or
two with no more that 2.5 grahams of tracking force are
permissible. It will have significant surface noise and
scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the
groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will
have seam splits, especially
at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or
other defects will start to overwhelm the
object.
