Grading:
All of our records have four grades: An overall grade, and separate grades for label, vinyl, and audio. This system allows much more detailed grading than is possible by using an overall grade alone.

M Mint Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Note: All new 45's for sale at Classic 45's are graded as Mint. It is not unusual for such singles to have a faint scuff or two on the vinyl or some slight wear on the label. The key is that these records are known to be new and unplayed. If the record has a true manufacturing defect that affects the audio or a noticeable printing defect that affects the label, these will be noted and downgraded as well. Sounds brand new. (Note that with 45rpm records, this does NOT mean there is no surface noise at all.)
M-
Near mint

Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as:
1. Drill hole
2. Small, unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy)
3. A few scuffs and scrapes on the vinyl
4. Minor ringwear or color flaking on label
5. Other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal
Near mint audio has some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting. Listening with headphones may reveal more surface noise than listening through speakers.
EX
Excellent

Less than near mint. The vinyl and label appear used, but well cared for. Records in this category have more obvious flaws, but ones that are not visually degrading, such as:
1. Small stickers on the label
2. Some noticeable, but not garish, writing on the label that typically does not deface the label design in any way
3. Scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl
4. Minor discoloration of the label
5. Very minor warping in the vinyl.
Audio in this grade has noticeable surface noise, but nothing that detracts from the enjoyment of the music. Despite some possible treble distortion (typical of older records), the record sounds great.
VG Very Good Records in this grade appear well used but not abused. They may have one or two major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, but usually not more than 2 of these. Audio in this grade has some surface noise that detracts somewhat from the music. The audio should still be enjoyable, but the surface noise is of a level that may be somewhat distracting in spots.
G Good Records in this grade appear well used and somewhat abused. They may have multiple major flaws, but none that would lead one to think the record would not play through. Audio in this grade is not really "Good" at all. However, the record does not skip and plays all the way through.Typically, records in this condition are those you would purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along.
F Fair. Classic 45's does not sell records in this grade. Records in Fair condition typically are so bad looking that collectors should just toss them out.
