A. Yes, it is. A fair use copy for your own use is legal if you or your organization is the owner of the LP. However if you intend to sell the CD(s) that we produce to someone else, on ebay or somewhere else, that is not legal. We do not seek or accept any illegal requests. The LP-to-CD transfers that we do are for your own personal use only.

A. We try but there is only so much we can do when the LP has had a lot of use and wear.

Q. How should I package these LPs to send to you?
A. Yes we do. We suggest you consider shipping the LPs to us via any of the following: UPS, Fedex, DHL, US Postal Service Priority Mail.

A. We recommend that you wrap them in bubble wrap and use a good quality shipping box. Also professional shipping stores do a great job of packing items like valuable LPs.

Q. Is there an inexpensive way to send the LPs to you?
A. The least expensive way that we are aware of to ship to us is via the US Postal Sevices' Media Mail. But you should be aware that sometimes these shipments can take one to two weeks to reach us.

Q. How do you ship the LPs and CDs back to me?
A. Your order is shipped back to you via UPS or USPS priority mail.

Q. Do you offer " sound restoration" ?
A. Yes, we do, but be aware that this can only reduce some background hiss and noise. It cannot remove background noise that is a part of the original material that was recorded. We use sophisticated software to do this but only utilize this feature when requested by the customer because virtually all " sound restoration" will affect the quality of the original sound to some degree.
