New, sealed.  I don't grade the record or inlay because I can't see it and sometimes the inlay will have creases and there may be defects on a new record that would prevent a "Mint" grading.  

Will ship the next day after receiving payment.

International buyers please understand that I only ship through the ebay Global Shipping Program and you will be responsible for any customs/import fees and taxes your country may impose.  Have a look at my other items, many more coming soon.

Vinyl tips

There are many new to vinyl out there, so I think this is good info to have.  It is important to clean records before playing, even new ones.  The manufacturing process leaves residue and debris in the grooves of the record that will wear out your needle.  Always clean (with Spin Clean manual or automatic sonic cleaner) before playing for the first time.

Clean your needle with a needle brush and clean the record with a non-static record brush before playing each side of each record every time.

Also, needles wear out.  I’ve seen people leave bad reviews for a record pressing that sounded excellent to me.  In many cases it could have been inferior equipment or the reviewer’s needle was worn out and needed to be replaced.  Depending on how often you listen to records, your needle may need to be replaced every 2 (or even 1) years.

There are plenty of online resources from more knowledgeable sources than me to look into but follow these tips and your records and equipment will sound better and last longer.
