Record digging tips for St Peter Port

A few things worth knowing before you work through St Peter Port's record stores:

• Learn the grading at HMV. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
• Check Discogs before big purchases at Vinyl Vaughan's Record Boutique. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
• Check the dead wax. The runout groove holds matrix numbers that identify pressings. Collectors live by these; a quick phone search settles it.
• Learn to spot reissues. Reissues are cheaper and often sound great. Originals cost more for the history. Know which you're paying for.
