Media scale

Mint (M) — Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-) — A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback.

Very Good Plus (VG+) — Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.

Very Good (VG) — Generally worth 25% of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise.

Good (G) — Good Plus (G+) — Generally worth 10-15% of the Near Mint value. A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. 

Poor (P) — Fair (F) — Generally worth 0-5% of the Near Mint price, but we don’t sell that crap.

Vinyl is in great shape but there is a small scuff mark making 10 soft clicks at the start of Viva Zapata! Cover is clean with minimal rub from storage. Spine is starting to peel and there is a tear from sticker removal on back. No splits or writings.
