Hey, everybody. This is Mark Merrin. I'm talking to Nate on the vinyl guide. It was exciting. It was

informative. He told me some records I needed to get. But also, you can watch my new HBO special

from bleak to dark wherever you get those things.

Hey, everyone. To celebrate vinyl guide episode 400, groove washer.com and vintage media grading

have provided some huge discounts just for the next week or so.

Groovewasher.com is providing vinyl guide listeners

40% off all record cleaning fluids,

and VMGVinyl.com is providing 40% off all grading services

for sealed records.

Both use discount code VG40. That's VG40. That's VG40.

And that's just for vinyl guide listeners to celebrate episode 400. The groove washer.com 40% discount goes away

June 18th and VmGVinyl.com discount goes away July 1st. That's groove washer.com and vmgvinyl.com. Two awesome sponsors,

one killer deal using discount code VG40. And now on to episode 400. Holy moly everyone and welcome to show
