Grading Guidelines for LPs and
for Jackets at IRVINGTON MUSIC
LPs

appear in new condition. Should play as new
- NM minus - Scrupulously
cared for record with a minimum of surface mars and spindle
trails. All listeners with sensitive systems may not be satisfied
but most will be.
- NM/VG+ - Near mint/Very
good plus - A step down. May have one area of low level recurring
noise.
- VG+/NM Records may
have 2 of 3 areas of low level recurring noise.
- VG+ Typical well
used record.
- VG Noise will likely
be constant and/or severe. Need a motivated listener.
- G Record barely
lays. This is a stopgap and will do until a better copy comes
along.
