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) based on the overall visible surface condition in the supplied photos and the seller’s approximate condition-map input: Side 1 has one other visible mark, and Side 2 has two scuffs. Labels appear intact; no playback assessment was made.
Sleeve: Good (G)
What to expect: A Good sleeve is heavily worn and may show substantial ring wear, seam damage, writing, staining or other major handling wear.
Why this copy received this grade: Graded Good (G) due to clearly visible heavy age discoloration/staining on the front and back, edge and corner wear, and visible handwriting on the back cover.
