All records will be sent in sturdy mailers for maximum protection. If possible I will use some recycled materials to save our trees! The Vinyl Mix is not however responsible for any postal damages, but will consider any issues on individual merit. If you are really worried about loss or damage then I would recommend purchasing optional insurance, especially on valuable items. I want you to enjoy your purchases!
RECORD GRADING:
ALL my records have been listened to, and are audibly and visually graded so that you can buy with confidence. The system I use is based on the US GOLDMINE system and is the most commonly used worldwide. Your order will include a grading sheet which will note anything of significance. I do try to honestly and conservatively grade my vinyl but please let me know if you disagree.
Still Sealed (SS): Record has never been opened.
A record that has never been opened is assumed to be as new.
However as it can't be listened to or graded there is no real certainty as to its condition.
Near Mint (NM): No surface noise.
A nearly perfect record. There may be one or two small inaudible defects. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other sights of slight handling. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either.
Near Mint (NM-): No surface noise.
A record that should play mint but has a few slight visible marks. The album will have as much luster as an NM, there just may be some scuffs from the sleeve or very light scratches that shouldn't be audible. An NM- album cover subjectively fits somewhere in between VG+ and NM.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Signs of wear but no significant surface noise.
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
Very Good (VG): Surface noise evident on playing, especially in soft passages, and during a song's intro and fade, but never overpowers the music.
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc.
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and
fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light
scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by
writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or
LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, just two or three of them.
Good (G): Significant surface noise, scratches that will produce noise, but will play without skipping.
Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play though without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the subject.
Poor (P), or Fair (F): Won't play through without skipping or repeating.
The record is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or
repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
