Goldmine Record Grading
This record and sleeve were graded using the Goldmine Record Grading Guide standard. Unless play-testing is specifically stated elsewhere in this listing, the grades are visual grades based on the photos. Visual grading cannot guarantee exact playback performance.
Record: Very Good (VG)
What to expect: Very Good shows more obvious use, such as visible groove wear or light scratches. Goldmine allows audible surface noise at this grade, although this listing is visually graded unless play-testing is specifically stated.
Why this copy received this grade: Graded Very Good (VG) conservatively: the photographed disc retains visible gloss with no clearly visible deep scratches, while the seller-provided condition maps document 7 scuffs on Side 1 and 6 scuffs on Side 2.
Sleeve: Very Good (VG)
What to expect: A Very Good sleeve shows obvious normal handling wear such as ring wear, creasing, edge wear, writing or seam wear, while remaining serviceable.
Why this copy received this grade: Graded Very Good (VG) for visible edge and corner wear, creasing, and age-related discoloration on the cover; the sleeve remains intact in the photos.
