Record Grading:

I follow the usual grading rules for 78 rpm records for record wear.

Mint - I don't give. It would only apply to never played dealer stock.

Excellent - like new, no greying. E- may have lightest traces of greying but of no sonic impact.

Very Good - your average record with mild greying, and mild distortions.

I consider records up to VG enjoyable quality records.

Good - pronounced wear and other defects, may still sound good with some sound processing.

All other defects (scratches, scuffs, cracks) will be seperately stated.

Also: as a SUBJECTIVE guide, I may make statements about the listening experience of the record.

SUPERQUIET: Basically no surface noise; rare, only Viva Tonal, Odeon and Electrola records usually get this.

VERY VERY QUIET: Astonishingly quiet for a given pressing of record.

Very Quiet: Much quieter than expected (e.g. a 1916 Columbia pressing without crackle, or a Victor Orthophonic record without slight hiss)

Quiet: on the good side of what to expect for a given record type, but some light noise.

Somewhat noisy: More surface noise than expected.

Noisy: Unusual high noise for a given type of record.
