A small portion of the records are new and sealed, but this is always indicated in the title. These vinyl records have no cracks, warps or any obvious defects. No marks or abrasions that could interfere with playability (except those that may be mentioned in the description above this chapter). I have checked them carefully. I have over forty years of experience collecting records, so my choice of records and grades are based on this. Most of them have excellent sound. But in some rare sporadic cases of unique records, they may have a slight hiss and a few clicks. In short, the condition of the record is much better than the cover, and you can see the actual condition in the last photo. The round label represents the condition of the record, and the square one represents the cover. RECORD GRADING: MINT (M) – mint records are perfect, usually this grade applies just to new, sealed records. NEAR MINT (NM) – looks like new, played just several times. EXCELLENT (EX) – plays great, but may have couple of inaudible hair marks, records reflects high-quality care. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) – record has more marks, but it also plays great, no distortion, just couple of clicks. Less shiny, but looks fine. VERY GOOD (VG) – its previous use will be apparent, under inspection. It may have visible scratches, mostly inaudible. Sound has light distortions, may have multiple clicks and noise. POOR (P) or FAIR (F) – discs with these ratings often have major noise issues, and should expected as bad and noise sound, even may have cracks and chips. COVER GRADING: MINT (M) – pristine, perfect, usually means sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) – looks like new, but obviously used (open shrinkwrap, may have light bites on corners). EXCELLENT (EX) – same to NM, slightly used, looks great. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) – may have very light signs of shelf wear, some imperfections of corners. VERY GOOD (VG) – previous use will be apparent. It may have visible wear or light ring mark (left by LP itself), light pen marks. May have top or bottom ragged. Ring wear or heavy wear, artwork may have heavy pen or pencil marks, may have traces of soaks. POOR (P) or FAIR (F) – cover was soaked, or heavy lacerated, ragged. My other Vinyl Records listed. And welcome to see my. I have constantly changing inventory, focused on music, video, and another related assortment, that help produce and record movies, sounds and images.
