A Note About Grading

We do our very best to grade records honestly and conservatively. Unless specifically noted, records are visually graded and have not been play-tested. Vintage vinyl can sometimes surprise you?both positively and negatively?and playback may vary based on your equipment and setup.

Most of these records have been around for decades, and while we carefully inspect each one, some imperfections simply cannot be detected without listening all the way through. We aim to describe condition as accurately as possible and would rather under-promise than over-promise.

Thank you for supporting a small seller who is doing his best to preserve and rehome these wonderful records.
