Is there a reputable online record store? I live no where near one I can go into.
The nice thing with Amazon is, if you spin it before 30 days and notice it's warped, scratched or comes with a giant dent in the gatefold (enough to he bothersome) they will exchange it for you, no charge.I've had great success with Discogs. Huge selection of new, used and hard to find albums. Find a reputable seller (buyers can give feedback) and you'll be fine.
Bought a few new from Amazon. With one exception, the vinyl was fine.
