A space in time quadraphonic vinyl plus#
Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. Good (G), Good Plus (G+): Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. However it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Surface noise will be evident on playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a Very Good disc. Very Good (VG): Generally worth 25 percent of the Near Mint value. A synonym used by some collectors and dealers for "Very Good Plus" is "Excellent." All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable. In general, if not for a couple minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. An LP jacket may also have slight signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. LP inner sleeves will have some slight ring wear, lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Slight warps that don't affect the sound are OK.

Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Very Good Plus (VG+): Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. Anything that exceeds this grade, in the opinion of both buyer and seller, is worth significantly more than the highest Goldmine book value. Near Mint is the highest price listed in all Goldmine price guides. Basically, an LP in Near Mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a retail store and removed the shrink wrap. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. An LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticable similar defect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. Near Mint (NM or M-): A nearly perfect record. Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Mint (M): Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. For your reference the grades are reprinted here: Record conditions are determined using the tried and true "Goldmine" grading scale found in Tim Neely's Goldmine Record Album Price Guide.

The vinyl is rated VG+ and is stored in a rice sleeve. Includes the original inner sleeve as shown. Left top corner is worst for wear and top right has a large bend. Sleeve in acceptable condition with overall surface, edge and corner wear. Quad vinyl pressing of Ten Years After's classic album A Space In Time. Offering these as the quad release was a little more obscure. Please make sure to check the rating on each. The vinyl in most cases is in VG+ or better condition but a few are not. About half of the titles have a decent outer sleeve/jacket and the other half are on the acceptable end. I am listing a couple of dozen quad releases that I recently obtained from a friend.
