VINYL GRADING & CONDITION
Each individual record is carefully inspected and graded in accordance with the internationally recognized "GOLDMINE GRADING STANDARD" - condition is everything!
MINT (M) - Perfect, brand new, never been played - possibly sealed / unopened.
NEAR MINT (NM) - Plays like new, shiny vinyl surface, no major visible factory defects - the sleeve may show minor handling wear only, no stickers, writing, creases, ring wear or seam splits.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Plays excellent, borderline NM, vinyl surface may have cosmetic marks, minor surface scratches or scuffs only - slight warps that don't affect the audio playback are OK.
The sleeve may have minor creases, minimal cover and edge wear or a tiny seam split - corners may be clipped or the sleeve has been hole punched.
VERY GOOD (VG) - Many of the obvious imperfections in a VG+ are more evident with a VG - scratches may be deeper, groove-wear visible and surface noise noticeable. The surface noise may be heard in intros or quiet passages but will not over power the music.
The sleeve may have obvious ring-wear, neat cello-taped seam repairs, sticker residue marks, price labels, increased volume of creasing, minor writing on the sleeve or centre labels.
GOOD PLUS (G+) - This lower tier grading level may not be all bad - the vinyl surface may have an increased volume of scratches, noticeable surface noise and potential warping but the record will play through without jumping or skipping.
The sleeve may have a worn cover, seam splits, surface rips from sticker removals and more writing but don't be put off, you may find a record from your wants-list at a bargain price.
