The grades above will satisfy most any one from collectors to casual listeners.
The grades that follow can show more surface noise and in particular surface markings.
VG+ Not quite near mint
VG Very Good: Used, more defects, some surface noise respectable playback.
This is the line where records really start to show their use. from here on down, they can be classified as really wanting to hear it again, I can't wait for a better copy. In grading a record, a G (Good) record is actually a very Bad record. It is very unusual for us to offer records with grading as per below, only if the record is quite rare and nearly impossible to find will we make it available for purchase.
VG- At the low end of VG noise becoming more pronounced
G+ Still able to play with pronounced constant noise
G Good: Well played, many defects, surface noise quite pronounced (rarely offered, unless rare item)
We will not knowingly sell a record that skips or have extremely pronounced noise, any record that may have a significant flaw will have a note to describe its condition.
Most are surprised that our "Used" CDs are in like new condition. Unless you can see a note attached to an item, you can rest assured that any CD will rate at 95% of new condition or better. Dare you to find a scuffed, or scratched CD in any order you place, you can take our guarantee to the bank.
Our tapes are thoroughly tested, start to finish, if they have any distortion at all, we get a two point toss into the garbage :-)
