If you play your records on a windup phonograph, it wouldn’t make that much difference. GRADING: 1 -Mint (LPs, sealed only); 1-2- Top condition 78s (as new); -2 - A very fine copy, minor rubs, no apparent needle wear; 2-3 - Some rubs, marks, non-sounding blemishes. An. “average” copy but with no apparent needle wear unless stated; 3 - Likely light sounding wear (greying), rubs. Records with this and the following gradings likely have increasingly sounding wear; 4 - Some sounding wear rubs, marks; 4-5 - Wear, rubs, marks; 5 - Obvious sounding wear, heavy rubs, marks; 5-6 - Heavy wear, rubs, marks; 6 - Quite dreadful looking. Records with lower gradings (4 and below) are listed only if particularly rare or if the playing condition is better than the appearance would indicate. All cracks, digs, nicks, needle runs or other forms of likely sounding damage are described There should be no unpleasant surprises. MGT -Minor grey trace, likely superficial. LGT -Light grey trace, likely sounding. All records are guaranteed to be as listed. If I have erred, money will be quickly (and cheerfully) refunded.
