All records are strictly graded and come with a 100% money back guarantee. All records are original, first pressings unless otherwise noted. If the record is an LP, EP or has a picture sleeve, the record is graded first, followed by the cover or sleeve.
Grading is based on the following criteria
Mint = store stock new
Mint- = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects
VG++ = extremely nice. Would be Mint-, except for a couple of light scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Defects are noted as follows:
CUTOUT = co
DISH WARP = dwrp
DRILL HOLE = dh
LABEL TEAR = lt
NUMBER ON COVER = noc
NUMBER ON BACK COVER = nobc
SEAM SPLIT = sp
STICKER ON COVER = soc
STICKER ON LABEL = sol
STICKER STAIN ON COVER = ssoc
STICKER STAIN ON LABEL = ssol
STILL SEALED = ss
TAPE ON COVER = toc
TAPE ON LABEL = tpl
WARP = wrp
WRITING ON BACK COVER = wobc
WRITING ON FRONT COVER = wofc
WRITING ON LABEL = wol
X ON LABEL = xol
All records are absolutely guaranteed to be as graded. If you disagree for any reason, you may return the record within 30 days for a full refund, including the postage you paid to return it. No hassles! No delays!
