[pro quality cleaning methods are used to remove dust, fingerprints, microscopic foreign matter, and old age, from the vinyl we sell.]

(proven methods of comparison and contrast are used to visually map the record surface, to determine the degree of previous usage, if any)

(inaudible surface ink and dye variations inherent to the manufacturing process are not graded as wear, as they do not affect the playback of the music)

 (previously used records listed are cleaned and play graded, to verify the accuracy of the description)
