Grading

We try to grade our products as honestly as possible. As a result, we have over 16,000 positive customers on our Discogs . Important note: The pictures of the records on our website come from a different source. The condition + possible comments can be seen by clicking on the record in question!

We grade our products according to the Goldmine standard:

Very Good Plus (VG+)

VINYL: The record is in nice condition but may have some signs of use. Some background noise/pops might be there but this will not overpower the music and total music expierence.
