Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and fifty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.

I am not a dealer but an amateur collector selling duplicated items or records that I no longer want to keep (mostly due to space). Unless indicated in the listing the records have been only visually inspected.

To show your record has arrived safely and you are happy, please leave feedback and I will reciprocate.

I offer reduced postage rates for combined multiple purchases. To protect the environment I recycle packing materials. Usually I post items on Thursdays.
