Introduction to Vinyl | How to distinguish the authenticity of vinyl records 02
Let's talk about how I personally distinguish the authenticity of vinyl records.
2. Record cover
The record cover is also a basis for judging authenticity. In addition to checking the record company, you should also check the preservation of the cover when you get the vinyl, except for new records. For example, I like to collect second-hand old Hong Kong and Taiwan records, so I pay attention to the degree of damage to the cover. For second-hand records, the better the cover is preserved, the higher the collection value, but the problem of fake cover cannot be ruled out. Of course, this rarely happens with old records, or I may be lucky and have not encountered it. The cover will generally decay and age over time, but this degree of decay and artificial aging are very obvious.
