Grading

GRADING SYSTEM, ALL ITEMS ARE GRADED BY EAR, NOT VISUAL. ALL VINYL IS GRADED ON A DJ DECK SO THE INTRO & RUN OUT GROOVES ARE NOT PLAYED , ONLY THE MUSICAL PART OF VINYL IS GRADED. AS I SELL A LOT OF VINYL TO DJ^S. SO A RECORD MAY LOOK MINT AND PLAY VG, OR WORSE, OR LOOK VG AND PLAY MINT. NOTE : ONLY THE A SIDE OF A SINGLE IS GRADED.ONLY LPS, M/C^S & E.P^S ARE GRADED BOTH SIDES. DOUBLE PACKS ARE GRADED SIDE A & C ONLY,TRIPLE PACKS A, C & E ONLY. ALL 7^, 10^ & 12^ SINGLES WILL HAVE 2 TRACKS UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE. SS = STILL SEALED. U = UNPLAYED, ITEM WILL HAVE BEEN OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM RECORD COMPANY . NO RECORD GRADED MINT RIGHT DOWN TO GOOD WILL JUMP. M = MINT, WILL HAVE BEEN PLAYED, AND WILL PLAY LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT A NEW ITEM BOUGHT FROM A RECORD STORE TO PLAY. EX = EXCELLENT, MAY HAVE BEEN PLAYED THE ONCE OR MAY HAVE BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES, WILL HAVE 1, & MAYBE 2 OR 3 MINOR SOUND FAULTS,I-E DUST IN GROOVES,MINUTE SOUND CLICKS NOISE, NO MAJOR SOUND FAULTS, STILL GREAT LISTENING.

G = GOOD, WILL HAVE BEEN PLAYED A LOT, WILL HAVE 7, & MAYBE 8 OR 9 MINOR SOUND FAULTS I-E DUST IN GROOVES, LOUDER CLICKS, SURFACE NOISE. BUT NO MAJOR SOUND FAULTS, OVERALL STILL GOOD TO LISTEN TO. F= FAIR, RECORD MAY BE SCRATCHED, OR LOOK PERFECT BUT JUMPS OR SUFFERS FROM BAD CRACKLING, OR SUFFERS FROM BAD SURFACE NOISE, FOR COLLECTION FILLERS ONLY. OR MAY BE NEEDED FOR SLEEVE WHICH COULD BE MINT. P= POOR, I TRY NOT SELL ANYTHING THAT PLAYS POORLY, ONLY RARE ITEMS, MAINLY SLEEVE^S OR INLAY^S WILL BE GRADED AS POOR. B= BAD, I TRY NOT SELL ANYTHING THAT PLAYS BADLY, ONLY RARE ITEMS, MAINLY SLEEVE^S OR INLAY^S WILL BE GRADED AS BAD. C/DS (ALBUM OR SINGLE) = ALL EUROPEAN C/DS I-E HOLLAND,GERMANY,FRANCE WERE ALL ONLY MANUFACTURED THERE,BUT MADE TO BE RELEASED IN THE U.K. ALL C/DS I HAVE PLAY MINT, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THEM MAY LOOK SCRATCHED, ANY SCRATCHED ONES I WILL HAVE PLAYED, AND IF THEY^RE ONMY SITE THEY WILL HAVE PLAYED PERFECT. BUT IF FOR SOME REASON IT IS DEFECTIVE ON YOUR SYSTEM I WILL GIVE A FULL REFUND. CASSETTES (ALBUM OR SINGLE) = ALL EUROPEAN CASSETTES I-E HOLLAND,GERMANY,FRANCE WERE ALL ONLY MANUFACTURED THERE,BUT MADE TO BE RELEASED IN THE U.K SO IN REALITY THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT RELEASED IN THEM COUNTRIES.

SLEEVES = THE SLEEVE GRADE IS INCLUDED IN THE CONDITION GRADE, IF AN LP IS GRADED AS GOOD, THE SLEEVE WILL BE NO LESS THAN GOOD, BUT COULD BE IN VG, EX OR M CONDITION. AN ITEM MAY SAY U.K LP, SLEEVE G, THE CONDITION GRADE STATES M, THIS MEANS THE ITEM PLAYS MINT BUT THE SLEEVE IS ONLY GOOD.

SOME C/D ALBUMS & SINGLES ARE PROMOTED DIFFERENTLY, THIS USUALLY DEPENDS ON THE RECORD COMPANY WHO^S PROMOTING THE ARTIST. AS MAJOR RECORD COMPANYS WILL SOMETIMES SPEND LOTS OF MONEY PROMOTING CERTAIN ARTISTS, WITH LAVISH PACKING, PROMO BOX^S WITH VIDEO^S C/DS & PHOTOS ETC, AND NOT AS MUCH PROMOTING OTHER ARTISTS. THEN THERES THE INDIE/NONE MAJOR RECORD COMPANYS WHO PROMOTE ARTISTS AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE, SOME PROMOTIONAL SINGLES AND ALBUM WILL BE PROMOTED MINUS ANY INLAY, WITH JUST THE TRACKS ON THE DISC, OR STICKER. BUT EVEN MAJOR RECORD COMPANYS SOMETIMES DO THIS. SOME PROMO C/D SINGLES ARE PROMOTED WITH DIFFERENT INLAYS TO THE RELEASED VERSION, SOME COME IN UNIQUE CARD SLEEVES, WHERE AS THE RELEASED VERSION WILL BE IN A SLIMLINE OR JEWEL CASE. C/DR info.

THE ODD FEW ARE OFFICIALLY RELEASED AS ALBUMS OR SINGLES BY SMALL TIME ARTISTS WHO RELEASE THEM THIS WAY LIKE ARTISTS USED TO DO IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES AS PRIVATE PRESSINGS. PRIMALARY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET A RECORD CONTRACT. SOME ARE MADE FOR DEMOSTRATION PURPOSE^S, LIKE IN DAYS GONE BY WHEN ARTISTS SENT DEMO TAPES OUT TO TRY AND GET A RECORD CONTRACT, NOW ITS ALSO DONE WITH C/DR^S.
