I Care About Vinyl

I do clean my records on a machine I designed and built myself. Even though these records look very clean, I believe that all records need to be deep-cleaned at least twice, especially older LP's. I will leave it up to the buyer to use their own method and machine to do the final deep clean these records.

I use a strong halogen side light sometimes looking at small marks with a strong hand-held lens inspect them before assigning a visual grade. 


The Flamingos "On My Merry Way" b/w "Dream of a Lifetime" 


Original 1954 10" 78 rpm shellac disc of this Parrot (#808) 50's rock, funk, doo-wop release. 

VG+/VG+ visual condition on sides 1 and 2 respectively. I am using the VJM 78 rpm grading system. Each side has a good gloss with some pressing gray splotches. Some scuff lines on each side. No cracks. Well-cleaned and vacuumed with my VPI record cleaner. 

No play grade on this as it is a 78 rpm cut and I am not set up to play this. Hard-to-find on 10" 78 rpm. 

This record will be shipped with full value insurance and Registered Mail.
