Our sale selection of East African vinyl 45’s are stock copies. Meaning they have not been played (once if recorded) or been in private use. However they have been stored and moved in various ways that have deteriorated the condition overall on selected items. Usually by scuffs or scratches on the media. Dust and dirt has also made it’s way into the grooves but in most cases have been cleaned out properly before they are put up for sale. Note also that Kenyan vinyl has a bad reputation for not so good pressings, in some cases the vinyl will look clean and shiny but the audio comes with background noise because of the way it was made. In the labels overview section I have noted my experience with the different pressings of the manufacturer. Dont’ be alarmed, usually the soundclip and the grading of the record should be adequate  if you decide to buy the record or not. Please enjoy our fine selection of rare original vintage East African vinyl ..
