Description

VALUABLE ULTRA-CARE:

We use a very surgical 2-step cleaning process: step one involves surface cleaning with proprietary Nitty Gritty and Mobile Fidelity cleaning products to remove any existing dust or contaminants from the surface of the record. Step two involves a full 10 minute ultrasonic bath with anti-static and deionized cleaning products. These 2-steps very effectively remove any dormant contaminants hidden deep within the grooves of the vinyl disc. The disc is then blown dry by the same cleaning machine before being immediately placed inside a new protective anti-static inner sleeve. We DO NOT leave the discs out to dry in a rack to collect airborne dust! We clean and re-sleeve them one at a time! All original sleeves and inserts are included unless otherwise noted in the listing details below.

All lp's are play-graded to ensure there are no hidden issues like; ticks, pops, skips or warping.
Play-grading is performed via Audio-Technica turntable with VM750SH Shibata stylus and the tonearm weight is set at 1.5 grams.
We guarantee every item we sell 100%!!
