OVER THE YEARS VINYL RECORDS CAN ACCUMULATE DIRT DEEP IN THE GROOVES. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BUYER DEEP CLEANS ANY LP USING A RECORD CLEANING MACHINE SUCH AS A KEITH MONK'S, OKKI NOKKI ETC. PLAYBACK CAN BE VERY MUCH IMPROVED BY DOING SO.

MY GRADING INFORMATION

NEAR MINT+
THE RECORD LOOKS UNPLAYED. HAS NO SPINDLE MARKS. NO SURFACE MARKS. PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT GUARANTEE THE LP HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED BUT INDICATIONS APPEAR TO SUGGEST THIS.
NEAR MINT
THE RECORD HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER. VISUALLY NEARLY FLAWLESS BUT MAY HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT HAIRLINES OR PAPER SWIRLS THAT SHOULD NOT AFFECT PLAY ON MOST TURNTABLES.
EXCELLENT+
THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED. IT MAY HAVE A FEW SPINDLE MARKS, NON SOUNDING HAIRLINES, PAPER SWIRLS OR SCUFFS.
EXCELLENT
RECORD WILL PROBABLY HAVE A FEW SURFACE MARKS. SOME MAY WELL BE AUDIBLE CAUSING TICS ETC. THERE COULD ALSO BE A DEGREE OF SURFACE NOISE, SOME SPINDLE MARKS OR A DULL SURFACE. THERE SHOULD BE NO JUMPS OR SKIPS.
VGC
THE RECORD WILL HAVE AUDIBLE MARKS AND SCUFFS, MAY SKIP OR JUMP BUT STILL BE PLAYABLE. SHELF FILLERS FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY.
*NEAR MINT ADDENDUM
THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT TIC OR POP SHOULD BE EXPECTED AS IS THE CASE WITH ALL VINYL NEW OR OLD AND IS MOST OFTEN CAUSED BY STATIC ELECTRICITY. THERE MAY BE SOME SPINDLE MARKS ALSO. IF THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THEN A CD IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A NEW RECORD. IN GENERAL NEAR MINT LPS WILL BE WITHOUT PROBLEMS. SOME MAY LOOK UNPLAYED BUT EVEN THESE CAN HAVE UNWANTED BACKGROUND NOISE. ALAS THIS IS THE NATURE OF VINYL.
