Best Jazz I own, Key Listening From the History of Jazz, Blue Velvet (selection by Rolling Stone)

I've been continuously trying to classify my vinyls. REMEMBER! I don't care (so much) the state of label (cover). Only the listening experience is important for me. So my collection includes special tag starting with class_[number] assigned regarding following classification:

CLASS_0 = Mint (M) - The records are perfect in Every Way = are stilled factory sealed. I am not reseller. I buy my record for only listening so none of my record has been marked with this tag... :-)

CLASS_1 = Near Mint (NM) - Pleasure to listen - no weak-points :-) Pure audio experience. Often also [first_owner] tag included.

CLASS_2 = Excellent (EX) - This is also excellent to listen in anyway but you would rarely hear tiny signs of wear (soft crack noise in silent parts or with higher volume) but it is still pure audio... :-)

CLASS_3 = Very Good (VG) - Listening to this record bring you back to the old times because of soft background audible noise and noticeable scratches (that you can feel on the record.) cracking during most of the record, esp. between songs and/or during silent parts. Light skipping but NOT repeating!

CLASS_4 = Good (G) - It is difficult to enjoy pure audio with these records so they are played only occasionally. Records have major surface noise and/or significant skipping but NOT repeating!

CLASS_5 = Poor (P) - No chance to listen without risking the pickup damage. I keep these records just thanks to my collector's enthusiasm. The records are cracked, badly warped and won't play all the way... repeating!
