The idea behind SlickDiscs was first conceived in late 2022, born out of a frustration with the quality of used vinyl purchased online. Often, LPs and 45s that appeared to be in excellent condition visually would leave us wanting more sonically, being blighted by pops, crackling and noise.
Research found that a number of cleaning services exist around the country but almost all of them required an in-person visit. Some provided a mail order service but all of these required the customer to find their own shipping materials, pack, and pay to post their records to the business.
Enter 2023 – following the decision to invest in archive-quality cleaning equipment and the relevant chemicals licenses, we experienced spectacular improvements to the clarity of our records. The decision was made to make this experience easily available to everyone in the UK: We offer a full service vinyl cleaning solution to our valued customers, just place the order and we take care of everything else.
