Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Near Mint (NM or M-)\u003cbr\u003eA nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, cut-out holes, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.\u003cbr\u003eBasically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003cbr\u003eA 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. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are \"OK\".\u003cbr\u003eThe label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may 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.\u003cbr\u003eIn general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. Most collectors find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Very Good (VG)\u003cbr\u003eMany of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG record. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.\u003cbr\u003eLabels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Good (G), Good Plus (G+)\u003cbr\u003eGood does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.\u003cbr\u003eA cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**Poor (P), Fair (F)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.\u003cbr\u003eExcept for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition will not be found in my shop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther Considerations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA separate grade is assigned to the record and it's sleeve or cover. In each listing, a record's grade is listed first, followed by that of the sleeve or the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DTN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43182522695755,"sku":null,"price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2712\/5754\/files\/Once_Upon_A_Christmas_Album_Cover.jpg?v=1789082251","url":"https:\/\/droptheneedlevinyl.com\/products\/kenny-rogers-and-dolly-parton-once-upon-a-christmas","provider":"Drop The Needle Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
