Boys Town Gang - Cruisin' the Streets | Vinyl LP Record | VG+

Record Sleeve and Cover Availability

Every effort will be made to supply the record with the sleeve or cover shown in the product photographs. However, if the exact copy pictured is unavailable, another copy of the same record and pressing may be supplied, provided that both the vinyl and sleeve are of the same advertised grade or better. The sleeve or cover may therefore differ slightly from the photographs, but the record’s advertised condition will be maintained.

Vinyl Record Grading and Pricing

Grading Policy

All pre-owned vinyl records are visually inspected under normal lighting conditions and graded as accurately and consistently as possible. The grading system is based on the internationally recognised Goldmine standard, also used by Discogs, with an additional VG− (Very Good Minus) category. Records are not play-tested unless specifically stated in the individual product description. Grading is based on visual inspection, and actual playback performance cannot be guaranteed. Vinyl records and their covers are graded separately.

Vinyl Record Grades

Sealed — Factory Sealed

The record remains unopened in its original factory packaging. The condition of the vinyl cannot be visually verified without opening the packaging. Any visible damage to the outer sleeve will be described separately.

NM — Near Mint

A record in exceptional condition, with little or no visible evidence of handling or previous use. The vinyl should appear virtually flawless, with no significant scratches, scuffs or other visible defects.

VG+ — Very Good Plus

A record in good overall condition that may show visible scratches, scuffs or hairline marks from previous use. These may include scratches more noticeable than superficial hairlines. The record is expected to play through without skipping or sticking, although some surface noise, clicks or pops may be audible.

VG — Very Good

A record showing noticeable signs of previous use, including multiple scratches, scuffs and visible wear. Some scratches may be more pronounced than those found on a VG+ record. Surface noise, clicks and pops are more likely, and some passages may be noticeably affected. Playback interruptions are possible where deeper damage is present.

VG− — Very Good Minus (Additional Grade)

A record showing greater wear than VG, including one or more significant scratches or areas of visible damage. These defects may cause pronounced clicks, surface noise or playback disturbances on particular tracks. The remainder of the record may be in VG or better condition. VG− is an additional grading category and is not part of the standard Discogs grading scale.

G+ — Good Plus

A heavily used record with numerous visible scratches, scuffs or other signs of wear. Significant surface noise, clicks and pops are likely during playback. The music may remain listenable, but the record is substantially below VG condition.

G — Good

A record showing extensive wear, numerous scratches and potentially deeper surface damage. Considerable background noise and playback disturbances should be expected. Skipping, sticking or interruptions may occur.

F — Fair

A record in poor condition, with extensive scratches, significant wear or potentially deep damage. Playback may be severely affected by continuous surface noise, skipping, sticking or interruptions. The record may be more suitable for collection purposes than regular listening.

Record Sleeve and Cover Grades

Sleeves and covers are graded separately from the vinyl.

NM — Near Mint

A sleeve in exceptional condition, with virtually no visible wear, writing, seam damage or other significant defects.

VG+ — Very Good Plus

A well-preserved sleeve showing minor signs of handling, such as slight edge wear, faint ring wear, light creasing or small superficial marks. No significant structural damage.

VG — Very Good

A sleeve showing noticeable wear, which may include ring wear, edge or corner wear, writing, stickers, sticker residue or minor seam damage. The sleeve remains structurally sound and functional.

VG− — Very Good Minus

A sleeve showing more pronounced wear than VG, potentially including noticeable ring wear, moderate seam splits, creasing, writing, tape or other visible defects. The sleeve remains usable but has clear cosmetic or structural imperfections.

G+ — Good Plus

A heavily worn sleeve with substantial ring wear, seam splits, tape repairs, writing, creasing or other significant defects. The sleeve may have weakened seams but can generally still hold the record.

G — Good

A sleeve with extensive wear or damage, including substantial seam splits, heavy creasing, writing, tape repairs or deterioration. Its ability to hold or protect the record may be compromised.

F / P — Fair / Poor

A severely damaged sleeve, potentially showing major seam splits, water damage, extensive writing, tape repairs, missing sections or significant deterioration. The sleeve may no longer adequately hold or protect the record. Original inner sleeves may be damaged or missing.
