(wiki) NotesGradingShippingFine PrintNotesGradingShippingFine Print ****SALEM ATTIC NOTES**** All records are inspected beforehand. If they need a cleaning, I do so. I use a spin clean unit, that does a good job. Sometimes it does not get out the real tough stuff, so I do that by hand if need be. I check the vinyl for scratches, blemishes, warps, sleeve rash etc.. If the condition of the record is anything but new I will give it a full listen with a pretty decent pair of Pioneer headphones. I will give you the details of what I find in the album info. I give all the jackets a dusting regardless. If the jacket is dirty or stained and can be cleaned without damaging it, I will do that as well. When I am done the LP & jacket go into a 2 mil protective clear plastic sleeve. The standard way I store and ship is with the LP/inner sleeve behind the jacket to prevent spine split, ring wear etc...to the jacket. During mailing each LP is put between two cardboard record pads and then inside the record mailer. Everything is stamped fragile but if your local PO/Mail Carrier is not the gentlest, let me know and I take that into account when packing. My record grading system. This is a BASELINE. I will put the specifics of each jacket and vinyl into the product description itself. Mint (M) (Jacket) There will be no flaws. The jacket will be factory sealed with perfect or close to perfect corners. (LP) The vinyl itself should be without flaws since the jacket surrounding it has never been opened. Mint Minus (M-) (Jacket) The jacket will be sealed in original shrink, but there may be some shrink missing. There may be slight wear from storage at the corners. (LP) The vinyl itself should be without flaws since the jacket surrounding it has never been opened. Near Mint (NM) (Jacket) If the jacket is sealed there may be some minor storage wear only. It may have some torn shrink-wrap. There may also be some discolor or ring wear to the actual shrink-wrap (not jacket itself) from age. If not sealed the cover will show no more than very minor storage wear. (LP) You should not hear any surface noise (snaps, crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips/repeats. The LP visually will retain that just opened appearance. There may be some light sleeve abrasions but they will not have any affect on the sound. Near Mint Minus (NM-) (Jacket) May or may not have shrink-wrap, but the jacket itself will still be in great condition. It may have minimal corner wear. There may be minor scuffs and/or creases. Depending on age, some discolor/yellowing may show, but will be minor. If ring wear is present, it will be minimal ( at the top and bottom pressure points) .no full, half, or quarter rings. (LP) You should not hear any sustained surface noise (snaps, crackles, pops) when you play the record. There will not be any skips or repeats. There may be a few surface blemishes, or a stray light scratch that may cause a moment or two of pops or minor crackling, but nothing prolonged, and instances of this will be few (usually at beginning or end of groove). There will not be any significant warping that would affect sound in any way. There will be no deep scratches. There may be minor spotting or fog (bag rash), but it will not affect the sound. The label will be free of writing and stains. Minimal spindle marks only. Excellent (EX) (Jacket) Similar to NM- but a few more minor flaws. Usually too good to list it at VG+ but not quite up to snuff for NM-. For example there may be a bit more corner wear, A few more scuffs and creases. Possibly writing on cover (would be faded or minimally noticeable). Ring wear may be slightly more noticebale than NM- but not enought to bring it down to a VG+ grade. Cover swould still have a nice luster to it. (LP) Again very similar to NM-. What would drop this down to an EX from NM- would be a bit more crackling or a few pops than the better grade. Might be some surface noise between tracks, or a more pronounced at the beginning and end of groove where the needle was put on/taken off vinyl. Again, better than VG+, but not quite up to NM- status. Very Good Plus (VG+) (Jacket) May or may not have shrink wrap. In this category it will be easier to see imperfections with the naked eye. though nothing that will detract from the overall appearance in a major way. The corners will have some wear and there may be the beginnings of fraying but not full on. Some dents/creases or scratches may be noticeable, but nothing overly pronounced. There could be a bit more noticeable discolor/yellowing on lighter parts of cover. Maybe some seam splits (may or not be repaired). There may be some ring wear at the top and bottom, a bit more pronounced than NM- (quarter ring wear possibly) but no full or half rings. There could be some writing, but it would be minimal. Possibly some light bubbling of the paper. There would be nothing such as water/mold stains, stuck gate-fold, tearing or major defacing of the cover in any way. (LP) There may be some blemishes, maybe a few light scratches. It will not cause the record to skip or repeat. There will be no prolonged crackling, pops or surface noise. There may be some lighter warping but it will have no affect on the listening experience at all (and it will be noted that it exists). Chances are there will be some spindle marks. A VG+ record will show some signs that it was played and handled by the previous owner BUT he or she took care of it. Very Good (VG) (Jacket) This jacket will have easily noticeable imperfections. The corners could show heavier wear and some fraying. The jacket may have seam splits that may or may not have been taped. Ring wear will be noticeable to the naked eye, and may travel the length of the jacket. There could be some writing (names, initials, notations next to songs) but no destruction of main images. There could be some bubbling, posiible water stains, discolor etc... Bottom line is the cover will not be destoryed, but will definitely have some issues. (LP) There will be surface blemishes, and most likely some scratches. The scratches could be feel-able ones as well. There could be a skip or repeat, but only one or two at most. If there is any skips or repeats it will be noted. More often the deeper scratches will cause more frequent and prolonged surface noise. Crackling may be noticed on more than just quiet parts of the play-back. There may be some warping but it will not cause the needle to jump (and will be noted if present). Chances are there will be a fair amount of spindle marks. A VG record will obviously have been played a good amount and possibly handled without the best care by the original owner, BUT will still be a listenable and enjoyable record. (Fair/Poor) (Jacket) This jacket will have easily noticeable imperfections. The corners could show heavy wear and fraying. The jacket may have seam splits on multiple sides that may or may not have been taped. Ring wear will be noticeable to the naked eye, and may travel the length of the jacket. It may have full on seam splits to spine and other sides. The jacket may be water or mold stained. There could be dents, large scratches or rips on the cover. It could have severe, blister-like bubbling. Sometimes it may have full cover writing with doodles and artwork defacing. The corners may be quite worn. Rarely a jacket in this condition will be listed in the first place. (LP) A record in fair condition can be put onto a turntable and should be playable. There will be multiple deeper and feel-able scratches that will make for significant surface noise (snaps and crackles & pops) and also may cause skips and/or repeats. Spindle marks will be present. Heavy groove wear may also be visible. Simply put a POOR condition record would have MANY issues and would be sold mostly for it's 'rare status'. If it is in this condition it will only be listed if it is an playable condition, and imperfections will be noted.
