Customer photo review of Nina Simone - Nina Simone At Town Hall

My order arrived packaged beautifully with all records in good condition. The Nina Simone album is terrific of course and in really good shape given its age.

Dan Fogelberg - Souvenirs

This is one of my favorit jazz fusion albums so it automatically gets five stars.. However… im very impressed with Five Buck Bin. They are the first shop that mailed an inner record sleeve with my purchase. A small but very much appreciated touch of customer service.

Roy Hargrove, The RH Factor - Hard Groove

Thank you 5 Bucks Bin for cleaning this vinyl, however, there is track that jumps, and thankfully its not one of the songs I like. Still recommended

Paul Anka - The Essential...Paul Anka

I’ve been looking for this album for quite a while now, and finally got my own copy. The album is very impressive as far as the quality is concerned! Shows some sings of its age from its cover but the record itself has been cleaned from scratches like a eand new one
