• EX (Excellent): A strong VG+ record, showing only very minor signs of handling or play.

• VG+ (Very Good Plus): Well cared for, with some light signs of use that generally do not affect playback significantly.

• VG (Very Good): Noticeable signs of use, including surface marks and potentially audible background noise, but still an enjoyable listening copy.

• G/G+ (Good/Good Plus): Significant wear and audible noise, but should play through without skipping.

Jacket Grading:

• M (Mint): Perfect condition.

• NM (Near Mint): Nearly flawless, with minimal evidence of handling.
