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: Very Good (VG) based on the overall visible surface condition: the record retains visible sheen but shows light surface scuffs and handling marks in the photos. Labels appear intact.
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: Good (G) due to clearly visible edge and corner wear, discoloration, creasing/wear along the opening edge, and a worn area at the lower-left front edge.
