NB I’m selling a number of genuine vintage 78 shellac records from a single collection currently - the lady who owned them previously loved her collection and catalogued them for her own filing system which is why most of them have small numbered stickers on the sleeves. I’m enjoying learning about them but wouldn’t profess to be knowledgeable. As such I am not cleaning the records myself, other than giving them a careful surface wipe with a micro fibre cloth. Professional cleaning or attention is recommended upon receipt. They are all untested and any scratches/marks might well affect play to a greater or lesser extent, but I will do my best to highlight any major ones.
Your records will be sent in a high quality, protective cardboard mailer, for safe transit.
