Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I found a Beatles Abbey Road LP with catalog number PCS 7088 and runout YEX 749-2. What pressing clues should I check next?
The sleeve is VG+, but my copy of Kind of Blue has light hairlines and plays with occasional crackle. What grade fits?
My turntable skips near the end of side two on several clean records. What setup checks should I try first?
