Keith Urban-Flow State @ Tears for Fears-Songs fro
Sent In By: Debra on 21 August 2026I was very happy with my purchases both albums are great. I love Keith's album as he has recorded some old songs which are great and the new as well. Tears for Fears it was a great album which I did not have so decided to buy this as well. The people at discrepancy were very helpful as I had order one and the added the other and they were very accommodating. I have bought vinyl from them before and always been happy with my purchases.
Faultless
Sent In By: Andrew on 30 July 2026Have been purchasing my vinyl from Discrepancy Records for a while now, they have a huge range at very competitive prices, always arrive quickly and extremely well packaged. Faultless service and wouldn't go anywhere else for all my vinyl needs.
Consistently superior
Sent In By: Louise on 22 July 2026I have been purchasing records from Discrepancy for ages and they always arrive well boxed, in excellent condition, with extra plastic covers. The communication with the organisation's customer service is exemplary - always honest, always timely and always helpful. I would not purchase from anywhere else.
