Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. Good (G) - A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.Very Good (VG) - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Very Good Plus (VG+) - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. I try the best I can to describe the record as it is.Mint (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. see my rating scale below.I'd rate the vinyl & the sleeve G.The record will be shipped in a special cardboard box meant just for shipping 45 records.THIS RECORD HAS BEEN GRADED USING THE GRADING SYSTEM FROM DISCOGS WEBSITE I'm not a professional record seller.
