Choosing vinyl records by the album or by the box leads to two very different purchases. One lot emphasizes a mixed vintage range across several musical styles, while the other promises 25 random records at a lower listed price. The right choice depends on whether you care more about the character of the assortment or the stated number of records.
Quick verdict
Choose Vintage Vinyl Records LPs - Choose Your Album if the described mix of rock, folk, jazz, soul, international music, and other styles is the main appeal and you accept an untested, as-is purchase.

Where each product wins
Vintage Vinyl Records LPs - Choose Your Album
This lot wins for shoppers drawn to a broad musical mix. The description specifically names rock, folk, jazz, soul, international music, and more, making it the more natural fit for someone building variety across genres. It also suits collectors, listeners, or resellers who are comfortable with a vintage assortment rather than a narrowly defined style.
25 Random Used Record Albums LPs Mystery Box Lot Vinyl Records
This box wins on its clearly stated count and lower listed price. The title identifies 25 records, while the attributes specify vinyl LPs spanning all genres and various artists. That makes the purchase easier to frame: you are paying for a larger random assortment rather than a particular musical direction.
Product notes
Vintage Vinyl Records LPs - Choose Your Album
The strongest reason to choose this lot is its stated variety. The description covers rock, folk, jazz, soul, international music, and other styles, so it is suited to a shopper who wants a mixed vintage collection rather than one tightly defined genre. The attributes also identify various artists and used records, reinforcing that broad assortment. The limitation is important: the records are explicitly untested, not play-tested or professionally graded, and sold as-is. That makes condition uncertainty part of the purchase, not a minor detail. The USD 70.00 price also places this lot $35.01 above the 25-record box, so its appeal rests on the described musical range rather than on the number of records.
25 Random Used Record Albums LPs Mystery Box Lot Vinyl Records
A known quantity gives this box its clearest advantage. The title calls out 25 random used record albums, and the attributes identify vinyl LPs, various artists, and an all-genre format. It is a practical match for someone who enjoys discovery and wants a larger stated assortment for USD 34.99. The trade-off is control: the description says the records are selected from a collection and that record requests are not accepted. In other words, the artist, genre, and album mix are left to the random selection. That uncertainty is the central limitation, especially for shoppers looking for a particular record rather than an exploratory box.
Final choice by use case
- For broad musical variety: Choose Vintage Vinyl Records LPs - Choose Your Album, whose description names multiple styles including jazz, soul, folk, rock, and international music.
- For a fixed-count discovery box: Choose 25 Random Used Record Albums LPs Mystery Box Lot Vinyl Records, with 25 random albums and an all-genre format.
- For the lower listed price: The 25-record box is the clear choice; the difference between the two prices is $35.01.
- For shoppers who do not want untested records: Avoid making the first lot your pick, since it is expressly sold untested and as-is.
