This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits on the sleeve. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it. NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless A very minor scuff or superficial mark and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches - Record plays through nicely. VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ : record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a respectable luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don't cause too much surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. There will almost always be some light to moderate surface noise when they are played. The dynamics should still be quite respectable, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear to have been well played multiple times. GOOD or G: A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It will play through with noted background noise. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear - a filler record.
