BACKGROUND:
Lebanon was chosen by major labels in the 60s and 70s as the prime (and sometimes only) base for pressing their catalogs intended for the Middle Eastern and North African markets.
The onset of the civil war in 1975 forced the plants to close and destroyed much of the stocks.
Lebanese presses of certain collectible artists are therefore highly prized and ultra rare to find, let alone in excellent condition.

MINT MINUS: Seems unplayed and is almost flawless.
VERY GOOD PLUS: Shiny and clean. May have a hairline or mark that does not affect play, and could have a stray, random click.
VERY GOOD: Use evident but well cared for. Low surface noise. May start off with a crackle which lessens significantly after a few turns.
GOOD: Use evident with hairlines and scuffing. Moderate surface noise with occasional clicks and pops.
ACCEPTABLE: Heavy hairlines and scuffing, as well as some scratches, but no skips. Pervasive surface noise.

GRADING METHOD
- Records are first assessed visually. Obviously scratched or otherwise poor records are discarded.
- Records are then washed ultrasonically, after which they are re-examined visually.
- Obviously records are double checked for excellent sound and graded as such.
- Records showing hairlines, specks, scuffing, fogginess or other manifestations, no matter how minute, are examined thoroughly. Results of this examination are conveyed unabashedly if they fall beyond our standard grading legend.
