Cleaning records

Unread post by Latteman »

Cleaning records this weekend with a hired Project machine from Moorgate Acoustics in Sheffield- top bargain at £20.

Anyway- it’s been therapeutic in an OCD type of way and educational- I’ve learnt some of my records were in really good condition, Genesis records seem to like static- all of them- and the etchings on the run out grooves the most entertaining.
It’s been fun googling the etchings and realising the history of certain ‘cutters’ and how to recognise first releases

Anyone got any interesting etchings to share
Mine is a deep purple album I got in a charity shop in Sheffield for £5 that is listed on the net by record collectors as a £125 album 🤪
