There is literally no point in purchasing an album on vinyl if you're going to play it on a Crosley. You won't be able to hear any of the superior sound quality that vinyl provides and you'll only end up damaging your record anyways because Crosley record players do not have an adjustable counter weight and apply far too much pressure to the needle.
