M is only for reissues / new releases

M- is a pretty much unplayed record for me – any obvious signs that a record has been played and I usually downgrade to an EX+

EX+ is a very strong grade for me – just showing some signs of being played but no noise / cue burn / crackle / styrene burn at all.

VG+ is for records that have obviously seen some wear and have had a good few plays and may even have light intro crackle but play very, very well.

VG is for records with quite a bit of wear and surface markings and some noise / crackle but still a very good player

VG- is my lowest grade and VG- records for me are in bad shape – lots of sound quality deterioration and many, many surface marks – not nice.

Harry Ray 'Ride Your Pony Girl' / 'Best Thing For Me' (All Platinum / USA / 1974 / EX+) £30 £15

( Deep and sultry Funk/Soul with Hip Hop Beats and deep Breakbeat intro + exquisite wah-wah guitars…very hard 7″ to source, vinyl looks M- but plays with slight hiss which is a pressing fault common to 99% of All Platinum pressings from the early-70s…bad mastering, no more – lovely slowie on the flip – this is one third of Ray, Goodman and Brown for those of ya that didn't know…one of THE best records on the whole List in my very humble opinion…..so unusual…face-melting music….clip below is from the LP but it is exactly the same track to my ears… )
