Vinyl: Muddy & The Wolf Muddy Waters Howlin' Wolf Clapton Winwood CHESS RECORDS LP NM

Grading:

Records and sleeves are rated according the Goldmine criteria listed below. All vinyl is visually graded under direct light. The highest grade I ever assign a record or sleeve is NEAR MINT. I include in my descriptions any noteworthy condition issues. I do not sell badly scratched, warped, cracked or otherwise flawed records.

NM (NEAR MINT): Record and cover are like new.

NM- (NEAR MINT minus): A few visible marks may mar the vinyl surface visually, but do not affect play. Cover may show minor shelf wear.

EX (Excellent): A few visible marks, one or two of which may be audible. Cover may have a bent or bumped corner or two, some ring and shelf wear.

VG+ (VERY GOOD plus): Vinyl has light marks that my cause minor audible defects such as low level background noise, soft crackle or occasional pops or ticks which do not overwhelm the music. Cover may have a cut-out or show wear or minor damage to faces, seams, or corners.

VG (VERY GOOD): The record has obviously been played often but is still in playable condition. There will be obvious signs of wear or scratches which may cause surface noise or occasional pops or ticks. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. 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. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious
