Curated Vinyl Records


A box of curated VPI cleaned and play graded records in the main room next to the CDs.


All curated records are VPI cleaned, play graded and visually inspected.
Grading is by vinyl/cover

The term "player copy" (vs collector copy) is used for a copy which are not visually good (scuffs, needle marks, light scratches), but not detectable groove wear and play grade excellent.



Judy Henske & Jerry Yester - Farewell Aldebaran VG+/VG+
Straight UK Original UK Press play grades as a strong EX, inaudible marks render a visual grade of VG+. Cover is very presentable with no major flaws - just a little edgewear and a gummed square label inside the gatefold.
