Please use the Grading Method above when ordering items.

All VG and worse records have been played all the way through and a play grade will be noted in the description. We do not play grade items graded VG + or higher.

All records are professionally vacuum cleaned using the VPI record cleaning system prior to listing. They are then graded using a 500 Watt halogen lamp to help insure accuracy. We are not perfect and mistakes happen occasionally. If you get a bad record, please let us know so the issue can be resolved.
