The rules for reviews
- Only review music.
- Only review music on vinyl.
- Only review music on vinyl that has been purchased at random.
(In other words, I do not go looking for specific albums to review. However, I will still be selective with the choices presented at any given time as long as they follow the other rules.) - Only review music on vinyl that has been purchased at random for $1 or less.
