All vinyl has been professionally cleaned in an isopropyl alcohol-based cleaner and stored in a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab original master sleeve.
Where an original printed inner sleeve is available this is included. (Note that the cleaner can occasionally leave light surface drying marks on the vinyl that do not affect playing quality.)
Records are shipped in a purpose-made corrugated cardboard LP box.
