45 RPM Grading System:
SS (New Still Sealed) = New store
stock or otherwise unopened, factory fresh product
NM = Essentially new or
near new with only one or two small insignificant visual anomalies
E = Still
a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may
have a few more light surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like
which won't materially effect play
VG+ = A really nice
specimen, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or
scratches. It may play with a few
pops, but has no serious problems. Still glossy with a lot of life left
in it
VG = An acceptable,
well-played record that still should sound good, but may have moderate
surface noise, pops, etc.
G = Not actually good at all
but probably will play through but with much in a way of surface noise,
pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
This record grades G with marks and scratches. There is a needle drop that plays through on Messin (see pic). Record needs 5 grams to track through a quick warp. Please listen to audio here for better discernment.
