Cleaned with ultrasonic cleaner, ships in sleeve cover with anti-static record sleeves.  Record will ship outside of cover.  Photo is of the item you will receive.

Record and cover grading:  I follow the Goldmine record grading standard as best I can.  Due to variations in equipment used for record playback, I don't accept returns on used records.  I never sell a record with any skips and will state if a record has audible scratches.  All photos are of the item you will receive, check photos for condition.

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that don?t affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, so long as repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.

VG+ Covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable locataion. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.

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.
