Guest Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I use the Record Collector standard to grade my 7 ³s - as below: M is ONLY for reissues / new releasesM- 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 playerVG- 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.All media links are directly underneath each item in red - just hover your mouse over the link and when it turns blueclick on it and it will take you directly to the YouTube page or my own soundfile / scan.
