MARK MURPHY - RAH
OJC 141 (Riverside RLP 9392 Reissue)


Media Grade = New Minus (N-)  

Please refer to my grading system below. My grading is conservative in an effort to exceed expectations. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me. I also encourage you to read my reviews.  My family has been selling vinyl records since the early 1970's.    

FS   Factory Sealed
M      Record has never been played. Often, a sealed lp (e.g. Blue Note, Prestige) is opened to check label designation
N   Record may be unplayed or has been played once or couple of times.
N- Record has been played relatively few times-could be considered essentially new
E+   Very little if any surface noise in spots.  Many E+ records could play out as essentially new. Often will have surface scraches upon closer inspection.  Should be suitiable for most.
E       Slight overall surface noise typical of many older used LPs (should not be a record that is loaded with pops & tics or has scratches). High filters on many stereos could remove the slight overall noise.  Will have some light scraths and/or scuffs
E-     Surface and background noise below music level but record is noisy. Will have scratches.
G     Record worn, playable, noise level close to or equal to music level
F       Record very worn, music level same or less than noise level.
