The Record
Collection
DJ Pesa has been collecting records since he was 12. Influenced by his parents’ record collection and the hip hop culture, he soon bought his first pair of Technics SL-1200 MK II turntables – and started digging seriously.
What began with soul, funk, and jazz soon expanded into all genres of music history.
Over the years, thousands of LPs and 45s have stacked up – yet his wantlist keeps growing.
What makes these records special isn’t just their sound, but their stories. Each cover hides a journey: found in thrift shops, flea markets, record fairs, in the vast corners of the internet, or through trades with fellow vinyl nerds worldwide.
To give you an idea of how rare a particular cover is, Pesa developed a rarity scale – from
Dollar Bin to Holy Grail.
Happy digging!

Rarity Scale
For each song, you’ll see a small icon indicating the rarity level of the record.
This helps you get an idea of how difficult (or easy) it might be to find a copy.
Here’s the CoverLove Rarity Scale.
Not what you came for – but exactly what you needed.
Cheap thrills and hidden gems. Vinyl love starts here.
($ -5)
DOLLAR BIN
You‘ve overlooked it a hundred times and bought it twice.
You tell yourself you‘ll trade it in - but you won‘t.
Not rare. Not expensive. But damn good.
($ 5-30)
COMMON
Not on the wall, not online — but it’s here. Blink and you miss it.
School project, handwritten tracklist or private press, grab it!
($ 30-80)
HARD TO FIND
($ 80-300)
The kind that disappears as fast as it hits the bin.
Not expensive because it’s rare, rare because it’s essential. You don’t find this — you recognize it!
RARE
($ 300+)
You’ve seen it in books, but never in real life.
Decades of digging, thousand crates. You’ve touched a million records, but none touched you like this.
