I am not a professional grader but I try my best to judge condition using the VJM grading system:Excellent Minus. Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, few light scratches.Very Good Plus. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.Very Good. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.Very Good Minus. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.Good. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.Good Minus. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.Fair. Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
