All records we offer are not played and visually graded only, but we do a quick play test to make sure there is no major warping, although we give a mild clean, records are in their original sleeve so some dust and detritus may be present, a good wet clean is advised before playing.
Please be aware that if you are unhappy with the quality of your record, you can of course return for a refund but we do not offer partial refunds under any circumstances, the record must be returned.
Record grade only stated in the title, please see images for sleeve condition, any questions please get in touch.
