Description

Blues and other phonograph records are sometimes quite worn due to being loved and played often by their owners. Some of the records here are very worn. I listened to parts of each record on a VV 1-80 and describe as best I can the issues, and how the volume of music compares to background noise. The pics also help discern record quality. I'm no expert though so records are sold as is with no returns. Records will be shipped via Priority Mail w/ insurance at buyers expense unless a different option is requested.
