NM/NM- (Near Mint/Near Mint Minus) = A nearly perfect record.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear.

EX+/EX (Excellent Plus) = LP may have faint surface marks visually barring it from being truly NM, but sound quality will be unaffected.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) = Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  A little snap, crackle, pop may be heard but will not disrupt the listening experience.

VG/VG- (Very Good/Very Good Minus)  = Noticeable groove wear and light scratches.  Surface noise will be present but won't overpower the music.  

G+/G (Good Plus/Good) = Can play without skipping.  Significant scratches, surface noise, and groove wear.

F (Fair) = Record is cracked, badly warped, or won't play though without skipping or repeating.

P (Poor) = Record is cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating.

*SW/DNAP* (Slight Warp/Does Not Affect Playback)

*QUAD* = Quadraphonic Sound Recording, equivalent to what is now called 4.0 surround sound
