One copy · original 1986 Zimbabwe pressing
Oliver Mtukudzi Zvauya Sei?
$120.00 CAD · graded VG+ / VG+
Chimurenga music staple. Kind of realized I don't even want to sell it while listening to the title track. But maybe someone needs it more than Gary and there are no copies floating around. You've heard of Jamaican VG right? This is a Zimbabwe mint.

The fine print
Free pickup in Vancouver. Everywhere else in Canada ships by weight.
Shipping & pickup
Pickup in Vancouver is free at any size, and it gets you at the new arrivals first.
Everywhere else in Canada ships by weight, worked out at checkout. Records are heavy, so the shop works in boxes. A box holds 12. A full box ships free anywhere in Canada. So does $250, whichever comes first.
Returns
If a record arrives worse than I graded it, tell me within 14 days. I'll email a Canada Post return label as a QR code. Take the package to any post office. No printer, no cost to you. Store credit for the full amount once it's back.
Otherwise sales are final.

The ritual, before it reaches you
Matrix-matched
The dead-wax runouts are read character by character and matched to the exact Discogs pressing. This one, not one like it.
Graded Goldmine
Record and sleeve graded separately to the Goldmine standard, as honestly as my ears and eyes allow. The grade sets the price.
Washed
Every record runs through the HumminGuru washer. Goat-hair brushes, alcohol-free fluid. It dries on the rack before it's shelved. Dust is not a genre.
Fresh outer
Slipped into a brand-new outer sleeve, so the jacket you get stays the jacket I graded.
Packed apart
Before boxing, the record comes out of the jacket and rides beside it. The old mailer trick that stops seam splits in transit.
