Products

Wasser Bassin sells **[confirm: new records only / both new and second-hand records]**.

Whenever a product is second-hand, its condition will be clearly identified on the product page, including relevant information about the record and sleeve.

Please contact us before ordering if you need additional information about the condition of a particular item.

LP means long-playing record. It is normally a 12-inch vinyl release containing an album or other longer recording.

CD means compact disc.

A 7-inch record is a smaller vinyl format commonly used for singles or short releases.

A 12-inch record uses the same physical size as most LPs but is often used for singles, EPs, extended versions or releases designed for DJ use.

The precise format, number of tracks and playing speed are shown on the product page whenever that information is available.

Some releases may become available again, but many Wasser Bassin products and independent editions are produced in limited quantities.

A restock cannot therefore be guaranteed.

Follow the News section, social media or the Wasser Bassin newsletter to receive information about new editions and returning products.

Product photographs are intended to represent the edition being sold.

However, artwork, vinyl colour, inserts, packaging or other details may occasionally vary between pressings or editions.

For second-hand products, please confirm whether the photographs show the exact copy being sold or a representative image.

Contact us before purchasing if a specific pressing, colour or packaging detail is important to you.
