Grading on 45s is strict:
NM : close to perfect
VG++ : some visual imperfections, but plays near-perfect
VG+ : light wear only, no scratches that cause loud clicks or thumps, no heavy groove wear
VG : can show wear and scratches but should play well with no skips or heavy noise.
VG- : wear and/or at least one scratch that clicks, or some light groove distortion
G/G+ : heavier wear, no skips but plenty of noise.
Fair : may have a skip or two, certainly some heavy scratches, not trashed but close
Poor : unplayable or almost unplayable
Labels should be equal to record grade or better, unless a defect is noted.
All originals except for a couple reissues which are noted.
Styrene vs Vinyl: most ’60s US 45s on Columbia, Epic, Date, Mercury, Fontana, Challenge, Wand, Golden Crest, Bell, Mala, Amy etc are styrene, not vinyl. Pressings done at Monarch in California are styrene. I try to note when a 45 is styrene instead of vinyl. Styrene wears out faster, but in fine shape styrene 45s sound fantastic.
