Also I like Elusive disc, and blowitoutahere.
ImportCDs has good prices but takes 3 weeks to arrive and their tracking s never work until after its delivered, drives me nutzo! Vinyl on line shopping for non U. This leaves Amazon and import cd's as the only sane option for non U. I know most of this forum members are US based but there is a HUGE number of overseas customers who feel left out, i wanna join the party as well but only a few clubs will accept me.

Frustrating that they sometimes are out of used items once you try to buy, but I have used their wait list service. I've had them email over a year later that a rare used lp has come in. Great service.
Aftermath likes this. BurgerKing , Oct 31, Assembling a want list is no problem for me , the thing is that I can't afford more then one or two lp a month and even I could you'd be shocked how expensive combined shipping is for overseas destinations. I guess for US on line vendors dealing with overseas customers can be a major pita items arriving damaged or not getting there at all etc so the only option they offer is express fed ex like service, hence the price.
For me if amazon don't stock it it's game over, luckily their vinyl selection is Getting better. You must log in or sign up to reply here. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks. May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record.
Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this. May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl. Possible minor surface noise when played. Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail. This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use although not major ones. May have slight surface noise when played. Very Good Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty. May have a number of marks 5 to 10 at most , and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail. May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more. This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Very Good - minus Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper. This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record. Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface.
The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise. May have marks on all parts, too many to qualify as Very Good-, or several deeper marks, but the record should still be ok for play without skips.
In general, this is a record that was played a fair amount, and handled without care. A typical example may be a record which has been heavily played by a DJ, and carries marks from slip cueing. Depending on the quality of the vinyl, may play with surface noise throughout.
Good A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting. Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
