Are vintage vinyl records still worth buying?

Absolutely. Vintage vinyl offers warm, analog sound and collectible value. Many older pressings — especially Japanese, UK, or US — have superior mastering and build quality. Stores like Calcutta Records verify condition and authenticity for collectors and casual listeners alike.

How can I check the condition of a used vinyl before buying?

Reputable sellers grade vinyl records using standards like NM (Near Mint), VG+ (Very Good Plus), etc. At Calcutta Records, every record is inspected and described with visible wear, audio playability, and sleeve condition noted in detail.

What are Japanese pressings in vinyl and why are they special?
