Good (G), Good Plus (G+) or Very Good Minus (VG-) Someone might have written on it or stamped a price tag on it. Seam splitting will be more obvious it may appear on all three sides, though it won't be obvious upon looking. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and ending. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. A VG+ cover may have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. Slight warps that do not affect sound are okay. NM covers have no creases, ringwear or seam splits of any kind.Ī good description of a VG+ record is "except for a couple minor things, this would be NM." VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scoffs and very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. If played, it will do so without "surface noise". Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any "spindle marks" from someone trying to put the record on the turntable. NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. This grade is rarely used.Ī good description of a NM record is "it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time". These are absolutely perfect in every way. I will happily play grade any record upon request.

Vinyl is visually graded according to industry standards (Goldmine) and done to the best of my ability. ***Customs and duty fees for international orders, if incurred, are the responsibility of the buyer.
