E (Excellent) : Surface noise low, smooth, uniform. Not irregular or crackling. Easily disregarded in listening. No perceptible distortion. V (Very Good): Surface noise somewhat more prominent; light foreign noises, but slight distortion, if any; noises not seriously distracting. G (Good): A moderate amount of surface noise; background may be somewhat irregular and crackling; some foreign noises, and a little distortion; on the whole, reasonably satisfactory listening without undue distraction of attention. Foreign noises definitely less prominent than the music. F-(Fair): Foreign noises, taken together, are about as prominent as the music, and there is considerable distraction of attention, and listening requires some effort and concentration; nevertheless, under these conditions, listening should be fairly satisfactory. P (Poor) : Foreign noises, collectively, are louder than the recorded music; continuous concentration is required, and there is little satisfaction in listening. 16 Column 4 of the "For Disposition" section shows the method by which each record is to be disposed. "SAL": The record is for sale at the price indicated. "AUC": The record is at auction. The highest bid takes the record. Bid only what the record is worth to you. "TRA": The record is for trade only.
