Record digging tips for Waterford

A few things worth knowing before you work through Waterford's record stores:

Check for box sets at Dive Records. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
Check the vinyl, not just the sleeve. Slide it out (carefully, by the edges) and look at it in good light. Sleeves lie; vinyl doesn't.
Don't clean records with your shirt. A proper brush costs little and saves grooves. Shirt fibres and spit are how records get ruined.
Ask about want-list services. Good shops will keep an eye out for your grails. It takes patience, but the call when it lands is worth it.
