I buy used LPs at $4.00 a pop from a local dealer who is quite choosy as to what he buys. I clean them with my Nitty Gritty and if they are bad, they take them back. What could be better? Got about 4,000 at present.
How to Judge an LP
OK - so I'm new to vinyl, and I envision myself stopping at the church rummage sale, scrounging around for good LP's. How to I judge the quality of an LP just by looking at it? What matters and what is superficial? What should I avoid at all costs? Should an LP with a missing sleeve be automatically disqualified. I might have used to know this back in 1980, but the memories don't last! Thanks all you vinyl heads!
