Vinyl Cleaning Service

• The rice paper sleeve is the best way to store your records. The sleeve is softer than the vinyl and will not give your lp sleeve scuffs like stiff paper sleeves. 
• The resealable outer sleeve is sure to keep dust and particles out of your super clean lp, while it sits on your shelf. 
• The 200W ultrasonic cleaner is sure to get used records as clean as the day they were made, giving you a superior listening experience. This should eliminate many of the pops and cracks that is caused by dust and dirt on your record.

It takes an extraordinary artist to re-imagine some of the most beloved songs of the 20th century and make them completely their own. And that''s precisely what James Taylor has accomplished with his brand-new album, American Standard. Recalling the best of James'' early work, he infuses new sounds and fresh meaning into these timeless works of art. While these 14 carefully chosen interpretations naturally feature James'' warm, one-of-a-kind vocal ability and incomparable musicianship, what makes this collection so unique is the inventive way James and his fellow co-producers, longtime collaborator Dave O''Donnell and famed musician John Pizzarelli, approached the project. Unlike most who have tackled similar material, American Standard''s beautifully simple, stripped-down arrangements are based on James'' skillful acoustic guitar work rather than piano and the affect is mesmerizing.
