2 big record store notes.
1) Blue Note has a 20% store-wide sale today with a few titles 40% off. Blue Note Store
2) I have to give props to Dusty Groove service. I received an order with a few LPs last week and one title that was ordered as "new" came unsealed (1st red flag) and when I took the LP out it was filthy and had some scuffs & light scratches. Sent them an email and photos, they said to return and they'd assess. This was a "make or break" deal to me as I'd lose a lot of faith if they didn't make it right. Fortunately, they did so very quickly and credited me for not only the purchase price but my return shipping fee. You never know until you have an issue, this is the first real problem I've had with DG and they were very prompt in responding and taking care.

Any tips to cleaning 40 yr old albums that my father in law gave me? The covers have the spots inside the sleeve too? I cleaned with groove washer g2 cleaner. Anything else I could clean with?

Looks like they’ve been exposed to moisture and you’re dealing with mold and mildew.I typically put a drop of dish detergent in a bowl and fill it with hot water. Get a steady stream of hot water from the faucet and rinse the record in a circular pattern avoiding the labels. Then I did a sponge in the bowl and clean both sides going along the grooves. After that rinse well. Then dry.
Also use a damp paper towel on the jacket if it has the same problem. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t, but it will at least get off any dust or dirt.

If he gave you a large amount of records 50 or more, it might be worth investing in one of the cheaper ultrasonic cleaners off Amazon. Proabbaly worth it anyway cause that is gonna be about the best way to clean them deeply.

Does anyone have an ultrasonic cleaner?
I’ve had one in my Amazon ‘save for later’ cart for a while now.

I do not, I just got into records the last couple years. I try to buy used stuff that a G2 groove washer cleaning will handle. At some point I will likely get an ultrasonic or a vacuum machine.

Gonna need pics of those beauties when they’re all set up!

I’ll see what I can do pic wise. Not too keen on posting the inside of my house on TD. So it will probably be of just the speaker. But more important than looks is how they sound. Wow! I definitely made the right decision!

Been waiting on a reissue of this and it arrived Friday.

Nice! I’m waiting for the VMP pressing to be shipped out with my April RoTM.
Posted on 4/7/24 at 9:40 pm to BigOrangeBri
I started my VMP in Feb, either missed it or it was already sold out.
