Our grades are -
EX - Excellent.Clean blemish free vinyl/cover. Very minor defects only.
NEX - Near EX. Minor defects only. Very close to an EX grading.
VG - Very good. Defects but a playable/enjoyable record.
G - Good. Noticeable defects and possibly a deterioration in sound quality
F - Fair. Heavily used and poor sound quality.
All our 45s graded VG or under have been played to ensure that they are playable and produce a sound appropriate for the grading.
