For best sound, play Mono singles in the MONO mode, and Stereo singles in the STEREO mode.

A word about certain vintage 1950's and 1960's pressing ingredients and some small label pressings:.
Many of the records offered are from 30 to 50 years old. They are are not digital downloads.
Every single plays differently on each different turntable. Some records come with their own inherent pressing oddities, slight sounds, and to the modern ear, possible "slight flaws" - which are not really flaws, but part of the pressing process of older, real vinyl / wax / plastic records.
Some turntables / tone arm weight bring out under the music groove sounds, others may not bring out under the music sounds, or may be heard to a lesser degree.
In some instances, just plain age can cause some slight noises in a record.
Some pressings of small labels from the 1950's and 1960's and some instances 70's pressings were made with not the greatest of ingredients,  and with these lower grade or inferior ingredients causing some under the music groove sound - this generally happened with small label pressings, yet the music is clear, loud, and present. Also, depending on the label, some of these smaller label pressings were pressed at cheapie pressing plants or at a big plant,  but on the sly late at night without the quality control of the normal commissioned pressing.
There may be slight tape hissing audible, which can be part of the recording/pressing - as per example, on some early Motown records.

(NOTE: If you notice the lashmi name on the image, it is just super-imposed over the on-line image, it is not on the actual label - thanks).
