Description I USE THE JERRY OSBOURNE ROCKIN RECORDS 10-POINT GRADING SYSTEM Many feel that grading with the 10-point system allows for a more precise description of records that are in less than mint condition. Instead of vague terms, such as VG++ and M-- (is "very good plus, plus" the same as "mint minus, minus"?), assigning a specific number provides a more accurate classification of condition.10: MINT 9: NEAR-MINT 8: Better than VG but below NM 7: VERY GOOD 6: Better than G but below VG 5: GOOD 4: Better than POOR but below G 3: POOR 2: Really trashed 1: It hurts to think about it All my unsealed records are cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine using Lasermedia VNC-8 Professional Vinyl Record Cleaning Fluid. The record is a 9; the jacket is an 8. DJM RECORDS DJF 20485 1976
