Vinyl Records
All items are strictly graded (M-, VG+, VG, VG-) by play testing on Technics 1200 DJ turntables and monitoring on good quality PA speakers. Samples are direct from vinyl with no post production to make them sound better. The .mp3 conversion makes them sound worse than they really are. They should all sound great at the club or venue, even the VG- ones.
