Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have
some signs of use (although not major ones).
May have slight surface noise when played.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially

This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip,
cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Stone-solid soul from the 2nd generation of the south! The track is a warm mellow number by King, sung to a girl who's leaving him, over great production at Malaco Studios – in a mode that would have made Otis Redding proud! 7-inch, Vinyl record
"Sexy Mama" is one of The Moments' best tracks ever! It's got a sweet slow funky groove, with a sound that really shows their association with Sylvia's production style. "Where Can I Find Her" isn't bad either, and has a nice sweet midtempo group sound. 7-inch, Vinyl record
Can music get any stranger than this – a steel band cover of the theme to "Jesus Christ Superstar"? The tune's actually pretty great – using the groove to roll home nicely in the middle, and vamping a lot towards the end with some nice changes on the steel drums! "Singer ... 7-inch, Vinyl record
