Vinyl Grading Table

Grading table of vinyl records offered in the Passion Factory Webshop.
The vast majority of the vinyl offered in our Webshop is in "Mint" or "Excellent". See the following table for more info. Additional details may be available in the item description.

Mint
Vinyl was never played. Flawless, with no damage whatsoever. Cover: Good condition, possibly slight signs from long time storage.

Excellent
Vinyl was never or only once played, but is flawless with no damage whatsoever. No visible marking, scuffing or scratches, plays perfectly. Cover: Good condition, possibly slight signs from long time storage.

Good Plus
May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless. Definitely no scratches or gouges that a touch with a dry finger can feel. Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.

Good
May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally, never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to. Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams.

Good Minus
May have continuous low level crackles, pops, etc. but not so loud as to make the music completely unlistenable or unenjoyable to the casual listener. Might also have "nasty little scratch" causing popping on one or two more songs, with the rest of record playing fine. Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
