What is ultrasonic cleaning?

From now on, every record over €50 gets a new treatment: an ultrasonic cleaning. In short, the record is cleaned using very high-frequency sound waves in a special record bath. Afterwards, it comes out dry and free of dust, shining like new.

Of course, a scratch or scuff can never be removed, but ultrasonic cleaning brings a dirty record back to life and to its full potential: once out of the bath, the LP is spick and span, and you will hear the difference! Information previously buried under dust or greasy fingerprints comes through properly again, so everything sounds a lot clearer.

Sealed records of course stay sealed!

What determines the price?

Why is one record cheaper than another?

Some albums were released in multiple versions (pressings). There is the first pressing, which can be very valuable to collectors. When that stock runs out, a new pressing is made, called a repress or re-issue. These are often slightly different, such as a different sleeve or heavier vinyl.

Sometimes older albums are remastered, improving the sound quality. A new pressing is made for this as well. Differences in artwork or small production errors can also make a specific version more attractive.

What makes the difference in price?

For records that are not new, the market value is determined by scarcity and the condition of both the record and the sleeve. Pricing is based on supply and demand, and whether a version is limited or numbered.

Which variant should I choose?

If it’s mainly about the music, a repress is a good choice. An original or numbered edition has a different kind of appeal.
