All records will be shipped with an inside sleeve whether its new or original and a plastic cover to protect from shipping scuffs.
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ BELOW TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE GRADE
I do the best I can in sampling each record for quality of sound. Unfortunately I cannot listen to every
one all the way through but I do select a section of the album that appears to be the worst and make
a judgement from that. Thats not to say that it will be the worst quality of sound, but it will physically
look like it should be.
Please note that we are not a grading nor record collecting professionals. We use our best judgement using the grading system shown below. Please refer to the photos of each item to see the condition for yourself and ask questions if you have any.
As an example; if there is an item that somebody might grade with a + or ++, we will give it the same grading, removing the +s. ie. "VG++" becomes "VG" according to our system.
Here are the general grading rules we use. Again, no + conditions will be applied:
Mint- Sealed, assumingly a perfect record inside the sleeve.
Excellent (EX)- The record shows some signs of having been played but there is no deterioration of sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and an occasional light scuff and/or scratch.
Very Good (VG)- The record has obviously been played many times and has mild scuffs and/or scratches and displays lessening of sound quality.
Good (G) - The record has been played so much the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated perhaps with some distortion and scratches.
Fair (F)- The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. It may even jump.
Poor (P) - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
Bad (B)- The record is unplayable and might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler.
eBays item specifics grading categories will be used in this way:
Recording Grading- The condition of the vinyl
Sleeve Grading- On an LP its the main outer sleeve. For a 45 it will be the paper sleeve.
Inlay condition- This will be used for items that originally came inside the album; pictures, stickers, literature..etc.

We try to describe each item as exact as possible. These items come from a smoke-free environment. Questions are always welcome.
