Vinyl grades
Stated conditions for a used item at Grooveonline are for the vinyl only.
If the cover condition presents a significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, it will be notified in the product comment Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyls we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single.
New / Sealed
