Want-Lists
Want-lists wanted! We genuinely have 1000s of rare, obscure & very hard to find - many of these records never find their way onto these internet lists - very often they are sold direct to someone who sent in their want-list!!!
WANT LISTS WORK - we recently sold copies of Mike Ensenat, Modesto & Olguita, Los kintos, Orchestra soledad, Yenguele maria & many other top rarities to people who sent in their wants! Email me your want-list - if anything is available then it will be offered to you!!! It's the best way to get sorted out even if it's rare, super- ultra-rare or obscure album!

Grading Records
Visual or Play Grading?
In an ideal world, every record would be played before it is graded. But the time involved makes it impractical, and anyway, it's rare that you get a chance to hear a record before you buy through the mail. Besides, many people will have a differing opinion as to exactly how much noise they hear on a record, and everyone will have a different sound system to ours too which will may or may not pick up certain noises from a record.
So unless otherwise noted, our records are visually graded.

How we Grade our Records
We look at everything about a record. It's playing surface, it's label, it's edges...under a strong light. With 100 years combined record-collecting experience between us here at Jazzman, we give our records a grade based on the following criteria. See also the appendix at the bottom for commonly used abbreviations:

Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. We only use this grade if it is 100% factory fresh and ‘As New' condition. Age is immaterial, if it's mint it's mint!

Near Mint (NM) A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. LP sleeves will have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover will have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out or drill holes either.

Excellent (EX) Has the most minor of surface scratches or scuffs, hardly noticeable, definitely nothing deep. Jacket Has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes or other noticeable similar defects. Might have slight rounding of corners.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A VG++ record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took very good care of it. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a VG++ record perfectly acceptable. Record surfaces may show some minimal signs of wear and may have slight scuffs (but no scratches) that don't affect one's listening experiences. Possibly slight warps that do not affect the sound. LP covers may have slight signs of wear and may have a cut-out hole, indentation or corner cut. (Cut outs indicate a record that was taken out of print and sold at a discount). In general, if not for a few things wrong with it, a VG++ record would be Excellent. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a VG++ record perfectly acceptable.

Very Good Plus (VG+) Many of the defects found in a VG++ record will be more pronounced in a VG+ disc. It is possible that 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, and occasional light scratches might affect the sound. LP covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.

Very Good (VG) A record in VG condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have some surface noise and clicks and visible groove wear. An LP cover will have seam splits, usually at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will be very noticable. But, if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, my advice is get it... but keep looking to upgrade. Should be OK for filing, or for club DJ play.

Good (G), Good plus (G+) Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play though without skipping but it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. Will have lots of scratches and will look used. Think the worst and you can't go wrong

Fair (F) This is the lowest grading mainly for records that are so hard to find that any copy will do. The record is still just playable, but has not looked after there is a lot surface noise, it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced, possibly with bits missing. I do not sell east type of vinyls.

Poor (P) Don’t buy this mail order; you must see it before deciding to buy! The record may no longer play properly due to the damage. The cover will be folded or torn and probably incomplete. Enjoy buying and selling music. I do not sell east type of vinyls.
