What does Media M- / Cover NM- mean?
M- stands for Mint minus, practically like new with no visible signs of play, which is the grade of the record. NM- stands for Near Mint minus, close to new with at most minimal signs of wear, which is the grade of the sleeve. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
