I buy used LPs on EBay fairly often and most of the time records are fairly close to the claimed grading quality. (Well, maybe one grade lower than claimed.). A few times, however, the LP sides are nice and shiny looking almost brand new, yet the sound is quite distorted with lots of crunching noises. It makes me wonder if the seller applied some kind of polish to the record surface which makes the record look nice but wrecks the sound.
Has anyone else run into this problem or heard of people doing this?
