Media Condition: Near Mint (NM)

A nearly perfect record. A NM record should have no visible cosmetic blemishes, with no obvious signs of wear. This is the highest grading we give for our preloved records.

Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, discolouration, or cut corner.

All records come with an outer sleeve and are additionally protected by an anti-static inner sleeve. For more information on our grading system, please see our grading system here.
