It is necessary to emphasize " the compositions and orchestrations of José Carlos Acosta, of an exceptional sensitivity for the nuances, the balance between the different sonorous blocks, the rhythmic and tímbricos contrasts and his faculty to create effects of great drama or to undo them in an atmosphere of fun [...] '.

All records are strictly graded. Sleeves are graded first followed by the vinyl. Example: EX/VG. I have used both the Record Collector  and Goldmine magazines standards to grade my records. Where indicated records are play graded (especially those of higher value) otherwise they are inspected under a strong light. 

Pre-revolution labels like Panart, Puchito,Seeco, Duarte,Velvet Records and others from the 1950's as well as the post-revolution 1960's EGREM records were pressed using thick vinyl and generally will sound better than the 1970's and later Areito recordings. The pre-revolution records will often play better than they look.

M= Mint: refers to a brand new unplayed vinyl record.

NM = Near Mint: Record played only a few times with care. May have a few light marks when examined under a bright light otherwise appears new.

EX = Excellent: The record has some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging may have slight wear and/or small creasing. EX(-) is somewhere between VG and EX. A record with an EX(+) grade can be described as better than EX but not quite Near Mint.

VG = Very Good. The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear on the cover or extra items without any major defects is acceptable. VG(-) signifies a record has more surface noise as well as visual marking than a VG while VG(+) is not quite in the EX category.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated and a lot of surface noise can be heard. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, ring wear, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 

FAIR: The record is only just playable and has not been taken care of. There is considerable surface that impacts on the playback, The record may jump or skip. The cover and contents will be torn, stained, water damaged and/or defaced.

Poor: The record will not play properly and skip and/or jump throughout many tracks. The cover will be badly damaged and/or partly mussing.

Bad: The record is unplayable and may be broken. This type of record is used only as a collection filler and I will only sell such a record if it is extremely rare to obtain.

ABOUT ME: 

I have been selling vinyl records on E-Bay since 2000 and prior via mail-order. In all over 30 years experience. My work in the record and radio industries and music reviewer for a major newspaper has allowed me to  accumulate a lot of vinyl records. In 2011, I started buying used Cuban vinyl records in Havana and I am currently one of the biggest resellers in North America. I employ several purchasing agents whom I have trained to provide me with quality vinyl.

• Good quality/reasonable pricing.
• I pay more to obtain quality Cuban vinyl and resell at competitive prices.
• I am helping several Cuban people (my buyers) whose lives have improved since working for me.
• Strict grading.
• No hassle 30 day money back no questions asked guaranty.
• I only use strong quality mailers to ensure goods arrive undamaged.
• All Cuban records are washed using a professional cleaning system and are inspected before being listed.
