Värdering av LP'ernas tillstånd
We grade all second-hand LPs according to the most recognised grading scale: the Goldmine Grading System. This scale originally appeared in 1974 in a publication of Goldmine Magazine. Click on a condition on the scale below to read more.
The Cover
The cover and all inserts such as booklets and posters are in perfect condition.
The vinyl recordThe record is brand new and completely free from scratches or other visible defects or dirt. There is no deterioration in sound quality. In other words, the record in this case is absolutely perfect.
The Cover
The cover may have some wear or be slightly creased.
The vinyl recordYou can tell that the record has been played but there is little to no change to the sound quality.
The Cover
The cover and insert have normal wear with no major defects and are certainly acceptable.
The vinyl recordThe record has certainly been played many times but little deterioration in sound quality although there are visible surface marks and light scratches.
The Cover
Cover and inserts are creased and worn. There may be discoloration and the paper may have been torn and attempted to be repaired.
The vinyl recordThe record has been played so many times that there is audible deterioration of the sound quality. There may be slight distortion and audible scratches.
The Cover
The cover is torn, dirty or partially damaged.
The vinyl recordThe record can still be played but has not been treated nicely. They are some noise, scratches and the needle can even jump.
You can also read a bit about some of the terms we use.
Cut-out
When record companies are left with stock of a particular release, they often choose to cut a small mark into the edge of the cover to indicate that this record is heavily discounted. This is partly so that shops will sell the record at a reduced price and the right to return no longer applies. The cut-out marking is usually very discreet and never affects the record itself.
Seam-split
Under flytning og forsendelse, kan plader inde i coveret slå hul i siderne. Det er derfor, at vi hos Vinylpladen.dk altid sender pladerne ude af deres cover i et beskyttende indersleeve.
