Estate Sales – Collections from older immigrants sometimes contain well-preserved records.
Key Tips for New Collectors
1. Start with Common Titles – Build familiarity before investing in rare pressings.
2. Inspect Before Buying – Check for warps, scratches, and label authenticity.
3. Learn Label Variations – Early pressings are more valuable than reissues.
4. Store Properly – Keep records upright in a cool, dry place to prevent damage.

With work/school moving entirely online, people sought physical media as respite:
• Vinyl offered tactile engagement absent from streaming
• Listening became intentional rather than background activity
• The ritual of playing records provided daily structure
Punjabi folk recordings—with their raw, unfiltered sound—proved particularly comforting.

1950s-60s: The Shellac Transition
Early vinyl suffered from:
• Inconsistent thickness (2-3mm variations)
• Label bubbling from poor adhesives
• Mono mixes hastily transferred to stereo
1970s: Peak Quality
Technical improvements brought:
• Proper anti-static treatments
• Computerized pressing controls
• UV-resistant sleeve inks

Common Regional Flaws
1. Indian: Inner groove distortion on side-ends
2. Pakistani: High-frequency loss
3. UK: Overly bright EQ curves
Collector Implications
Grading Adjustments
Must account for regional norms:
• Indian pressings expected to have seam splits
• Pakistani records forgiven for surface noise
• UK sleeves held to highest standard
