Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle. Very Good (VG) – It's seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches.
Very Good (VG): A record rated Very Good has a significant number of inaudible scratches, or one or more scratches that you will be able to hear during play (pops or clicks), or more significant groove wear, or some pressing imperfections like bubbling. Still, nothing that should cause a skip.
Good (G) while the term good might seem positive, a record carrying a G grade may still be of poor quality. Frequently a G-rated record is sold at a bargain price. It's useable but it may have several scratches or distortions.
