I’ve gone above/beyond to make sure you have everything you need to make an informed decision to purchase this record or not. I’m sure you’ll find the condition accurate/or better than I have described. I've been very transparent with my grading and condition of these records - I rarely see that from other sellers on eBay. Buy my records with confidence!!

*** Some things to know before you purchase... ***

These records are from my personal collection which was built during my time as a DJ between 1980 and 2000. As difficult as it is, I’ve decided to part with these records to make room for new music. These records all bring back fond memories -  I hope by passing them on others will play them and recall good times as well or just take a liking to what was popular “back in the day!”- These records have been graded using the Goldmine Grading Guide. I have personally played side A/1 only and provided a grade I feel best represents the quality of the vinyl and cover. If you want me to play side B/2 and grade it I will, just send me the request. 

- I have called out any conditions I think a buyer should be aware of in my description. If you have specific question (runout/deadwax numbers for example) please ask BEFORE YOU PURCHASE the item. There are no refunds.

- These records have all had an ultrasonic cleaning in a solution of Tergi-Kleen which is the same solution used by the Library of Congress. Each vinyl protectant sleeve has a removable “last cleaned” sticker with a date on it. This label can be removed without damaging the poly cover.

- After cleaning, every record was placed in a NEW archival quality inner paper sleeve or a NEW anti static vinyl inner sleeve. I did this so there would be no transfer of dirt from the old inner sleeve to the freshly cleaned record. In some cases I left the original inner sleeve included where it made sense but put the vinyl in a clean sleeve.

- Each record has been placed in a clear hi-density polypropylene cover to protect the jacket.

- These records have been kept in covered record crates, in protective jackets and stored inside. I think you’ll find these records are in great shape considering the age and frequency in which they were played.

Enjoy!
