Grading

The Brothers list jacket condition first, vinyl second. For example, a VG+/M- grade indicates a jacket with slight signs of wear and a disc which is virtually flawless. *See note at bottom SS "Still Sealed" Never opened. M "Mint" Opened but flawless. No signs of wear. This grade usually used with 12" discs. M- "Mint Minus" Vinyl: still virtually flawless. May have faint scuffs from sleeve. Jacket: Virtually wear free, but sheen may be faded in some spots. VG+ "Very Good Plus" Vinyl: Some signs of wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only occasional and "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the song beginning is allowable. Jacket: Minor signs of wear. VG "Very Good" Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but never continuously. Jacket: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. Such abnormalities as minor tears, markings, moisture stains will be listed in the item description, and only if seller feels it still qualifies as "VG". G "Good" Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unlistenable or unenjoyable to the casual listener. Jacket: More than normal wear and tear. *BUYER Responsibility Brothers Records play-grades records with Audio Technica turntables at stylus pressures of 3.5 grams, a typical pressure for most turntables. Turntables rated with a lighter pressure (such as 1.5 grams) MAY pick up additional surface sounds even on a M- rated LP or 45rpm disc. Buyers please consider this BEFORE purchasing your disc. We WILL NOT grant refunds for this reason! A one-time exchange for an equally priced disc may be considered, and ONLY AFTER we receive and play-grade the returned disc. If you have any doubts please purchase discs graded ^SS^ (Still Sealed). If the above policy leaves any doubts, please refer to GEMM's generally accepted Grading Standard
