Vinyl Registry is the world’s first blockchain based registration system where buyers and sellers can claim or verify ownership of rare limited vinyl using blockchain technology.

There is no objective standard of beautiful music, but rarity is a measurable thing. Collectors of rare vinyl trade on the open market where prices can get quite high. Buyers want to avoid stolen or forged copies. Sellers need proof of authenticity.

That's why Vinyl Registry connects each physical vinyl pressed to its owner with a non-fungible token representing irrefutable ownership.

So, when purchasing a record from a Vinyl Registry augmented release:

1. Make certain the seller transfers the associated NFT to you.
2. Never purchase just the NFT, as it has no value other than proof of ownership. The real store of value is the vinyl record itself.

Without the NFT, the provenance of the physical item is questionable. Without the vinyl, the NFT is just a worthless number in a contract on the blockchain.
