Death in Vegas - Dead Elvis
Sent In By: Chris on 27 March 2024I have been searching for this on vinyl for a while. So glad I came across it at Discrepancy Records. The LP arrived in good time and well packaged. Always easy and a pleasure dealing with Discrepancy Records. Thank you.
Best Of The Corrs
Sent In By: Peter on 25 March 2024Best Of The Corrs on gold vinyl is a great double album of hits. Discrepancy Records did a great job in dispatching the order quickly and also very securely packing packing the album. It is important to note the LPs were in their own separate liner external to the sleeve so there is no damage to the edges of the sleeve by the records during transit. I have ordered two more albums (one is the Dark Side Of The Moon laser picture disc preorder)and I look forward to purchasing many more albums in the future :-)
