A Word About Play Grading:
As of 3.15.24, both a visual and a play grade will be assigned to vinyl listed for sale. A play grade, while a valid assessment of quality, varies greatly depending on the equipment used for the grading, particularly the cartridge and stylus. For play grading of higher end items, this store uses a Thorens TD 160 turntable equipped with an Audio Technica VM540L cartridge and stylus. For records visually assessed at VG and below, a Pioneer PL-112D turntable with a Shure M95E cartridge and stylus are used. Please keep this in mind when buying, as a record that does not skip with an elliptical stylus (such as that used for the Shure cartridge), will often skip with a microline or higher quality stylus.. 

SHIPPING:
All records shipped via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise requested and paid for by buyer. Cover housed in a new protective outer sleeve, vinyl in a new antistatic inner sleeve (outside the cover), and shipped in mailers specifically designed for records, with filler pads. 
Only quality shipping materials used.
