Dizzy Gillespie - The Cool World - Philips PHM 200-138 - OG 1964

Description: 1964 Mono pressing; Includes original Philips inner sleeve. Visual Grading: Media - VG+: High gloss, clean labels. Several light hairlines visible under strong light. None can be felt. Sleeve - VG+: in full shrink wrap with small tear in lower left corner; light age yellowing where shrink wrap is torn and along opening edge. Small crease upper left corner. Small price sticker on front on top of shrink wrap.I do my best to grade all items fairly and objectively using the following guidelines:Media grading:M (Mint) - Only used for sealed records that are "assumed" to be in mint condition. NM (Near Mint) - Records with no visible signs of wear. No scratches on media (hairline or otherwise). Clean, vibrant labels with no spindle marks. EX (Excellent) - Records with only the slightest signs of wear. Could almost pass for NM, but may include up to several hairlines, paper scuffs and/or spindle marks, but nothing that detracts from the visual or sound quality of the record.VG+ (Very Good Plus) - Records that still look and sound fantastic but may have a few more hairlines or very light scratches (that don't affect play) and/or may have slight wear on the label. No records with drill holes or other similar blemishes will ever be graded higher than VG+, even if they are otherwise in NM condition.VG (Very Good) - Records that contain a larger number of the imperfections found in VG+ records. They will most likely contain more hairlines and light scratches, although typically not deep enough to be felt with a fingernail, and possibly more label wear. The surface marks on a VG record will most likely cause some background noise during playback.VG- (Very Good Minus) - Records similar to VG, but with even more hairlines/scratches and/or label wear. A scratch may occasionally be deep enough to be felt with a fingernail, but typically that would bump the grading down to G+ or lower. The marks on a VG- record would definitely cause some background noise during playback.G+ (Good Plus) - More and/or deeper scratches than a VG-record. May contain multiple scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail, but should still play through without skipping, although with background noise.G/F/P (Good/Fair/Poor) - I don't expect to be listing many records that would be graded as G or below. However, if I do, I will attempt to carefully document all of the condition issues leading to the low grade. Sleeve Grading:M (Mint) - Only used for sealed records, and only if there are no blemishes, rubbing, creasing, etc. to the sleeve under the original shrink wrap.NM (Near Mint) - Sleeves in NM condition show no signs of wear and look like they were just removed from their original shrink wrap (and in many cases still retain their original shrink wrap). Colors are vibrant with no bends, creases, rubbing, etc.EX (Excellent) - Sleeves with only the slightest hint of wear, possibly a very small corner bend or light rubbing on a corner or seam. An EX sleeve will not have visible wear on the front or back of the sleeve.VG+ (Very Good Plus) - Sleeves in this condition still look great, but may have a few minor issues such as minor creasing or corner "bumps", very light seam wear, slight beginnings of ring wear, or small/light writing. Any sleeve with a cut corner, saw cut or hole punch will never be graded higher than VG+.VG (Very Good) - Sleeves in this condition have a greater number of issues such as moderate seam wear or ring wear, more pronounced creasing, more visible writing or small seam splits.VG- (Very Good Minus) - Sleeves in this condition have all of the issues of a VG sleeve, but to a greater degree. G+ (Good Plus) - Sleeves in this condition are not much to look at. They may have extensive wear, splitting, and/or writing that make them visually unappealing.G/F/P (Good/Fair/Poor) - I don't expect to be listing many records with sleeves that would be graded as G or below. However, if I do I will attempt to carefully document all of the condition issues leading to the low grade.
