FAQ

What’s special about the run-out grooves?
Both sides end in a locked groove – the last short piece keeps playing until you lift the tonearm.

What does Media NM- / Sleeve VG+ mean?
The record is near mint minus, the sleeve shows light wear, here some corner wear. See our vinyl grading guide for details.
