GRADING: Industry standards are to Grade records based only on how they look. But you can't see music or how the song will sound. When you play a record all the efforts of the artist that gave birth to the song is reborn. Your personal memories and feelings associated with hearing it is relived. The grading you find here is for the vinyl, label and sound of the record. I will note anything I know about the record. The music matters. Playgrade with a light tone arm and a Stanton Cartridge unless noted otherwise.

Following is the grading scale as we use it. Remember we play the record or at least enough of it to know how the song actually sounds so you will not have a nasty surprize when you play the record. We include these findings into the grading. If a record has not been played it will be noted as such. GRADING SCALE: STILL SEALED (SS): means still sealed in the original shrink wrap; MINT (M) means mint but we will not use that grading because it is open to interpretation; NEAR MINT(NM) means really nice record with no visual defects; VERY GOOD (VG) means it still looks very good with shine and luster but may have very minor scuffs; GOOD (G) means it is still a good record but it will have notable scuffs and scratches; FAIR (F) means it is fair, it will still play but it is rough. POOR (P) means it may or may not even play. just a place holder until a better one comes along......we do offer poor records on the more rare records and have found it appreciated. We use the + & - signs to just tell you inbetween steps but they are not part of our scale.
