GRADING

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!
