Vinyl Condition

Our records are graded conservatively and described to give buyers confidence in their quality and are mostly very good (VG) to excellent (EX)* condition.  Please keep the following in mind: 

Sound Quality: Most of the records we are currently offering are over 50 years old and have been played but should provide an enjoyable listening experience. While I do not play-grade them, they are visually inspected to ensure they have no significant scratches or defects that might impact playability. 

Surface Marks: Some records may have minor spider scuffs, light fingerprints, or faint surface imperfections typical of records this age. These marks are cosmetic and should not significantly affect the sound. 

Surface Noise: As with all vinyl, light surface noise is inherent to the format and may be present during quieter passages, but this should not detract from the overall enjoyment. 

Collectability

The records we are currently offering at auction are highly collectible and represent a significant era in music history. Whether you’re a longtime collector or a new vinyl enthusiast, these records are a great addition to any collection, offering both nostalgia and high-quality craftsmanship.
