About Sounds for Sure
Sounds for Sure is a Dutch music webstore and small independent label. Next to brand new cd's we sell high quality guaranteed well-playing used cd’s and vinyl records in genres from pop to metal and everything in between. This is also the place where you might find that album that you’ve been looking for for years at a very nice price. In the vinyl records department you will mostly find used vinyl records from the 80's; for this reason we made this department directly accessible via www.80svinyl.com. But we also have vinyl records from the 70's and 60's and some more recent ones. In the section with new cd’s you mostly find new wave, post-punk, darkwave, dream-pop, gothic and related genres. We are specialized in those titles you won’t find in regular shops. We often buy directly from independent labels or the artists themselves where possible. In this way we support independent artists where we can and give the listener the chance to discover new great music in those genres at very friendly cd prices . |

Grading of used vinyl records
Near Mint This is the highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. Excellent Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or effects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. Very Good Plus Record has some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. Very Good Record will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music. There will be no skips. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole. Good Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl record with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged. Poor Unless the record is particularly rare, most of the time we don't try to sell records in this condition. Usually when records are graded poor there will be major noise, surface damage, deep scratches, and skips. Attempting to listen to these discs will be painful. On Sounds for Sure vinyl records are already graded poor when they skip only one time or keep repeating at one place while the rest of the record plays excellent! When a record is graded poor we will always do our best to describe what's wrong with it under the Information on the particular item. Warranty: All vinyl plays without skipping, unless the condition is graded 'poor'. If it doesn't, you can return it and you will get a full refund of the amount you paid for the particular piece of vinyl and the shipping costs. Any damage(s) and/or other deviation(s) to the sleeve and/or the booklet will be mentioned under the Information on the particular item on the site. Standard white innersleeves will be replaced when necessary. |
