Because our curators double inspect every copy under high intensity light and play test rare releases to verify audio fidelity we guarantee the exact condition and authenticity described before it leaves our vault.
We recommend gently wiping the record with a carbon fiber anti static brush before and after every playback to remove surface dust. For deep cleaning always use specialized alcohol free record cleaning fluid and a microfiber cloth wiping in a gentle circular motion following the grooves.
