Changes to http://www.recycledlprecords.com

Just a quick note to let you know that I am presenting my recycled record products in a slightly different, updated, more user-friendly way. Easily add products to your cart and pay with PayPal. You have total control and security and we do not hold your personal charge card information - safer for everyone. (The security was the same before, only less relaxing!)

Also, shipping is now seperate as opposed to being included in the price, which could have been misleading. A shipping costs page will be up and running shortly, so please check in for our competitive rates. We will also be re-using shipping materials such as bubble-wrap, cardboard, newspaper, plastic chips, etc to keep your costs. Giving back to both you and the environment.

Please continue to re-use and recycle and plan for the future of our earth.

Until next time,

Kevin.

A new beginning.

Every now and again I acquire a big box of old LP's some of which are scratched up pretty badly and "snap, crackle and pop" their way through songs. I haven't found a good way to remedy this to produce a better sound so I recycle the records into clocks, coasters and bowls. Even the ragged old sleeves are converted into greeting cards and sent on for others to enjoy. Just to clarify, some of my creations come from records in very good condition that are common and easy to come by! Obscure and hard-to-find LP's stay in my home collection, get put up for auction or get traded.

A tip: for records that are dirty, water-damaged or smudged, take a lightly damp chamois cloth and gently rub the record from the centre outwards. Provided the cloth is smooth and soft, it will not scratch the vinyl. It makes an amazing difference to the sound quality and appearance.
