Bad vinyl


I recently bought 3 albums and each one had to return due to bad pressings, Dizzy, Diana Krall and Bowie. I was so disappointed, 3 out of 3 were bad, really bad. The store didn't have other copies so I bought Jeff Beck and Nora Jones new albums and they sound perfect, btw, not bad work either.

That at is a 60% return ratio. Anyone else experiencing the same?

I couldn't play half of side a of Station to Station. Neither of my tables could track it as it appear the grooves were not fully intact. Karl had a lot of ticks and pops and Dizzy had a number of crunchies.

Yes, they were all brand new and 180 grams.

That being said Jeff Beck's and Nora Jones' new albums are very quiet and clean and a pleasure to listen to.

When  I returned the other albums I felt like they were going to think I was scamming them but they had no questions and offered me an immediate refund, which was very encouraging.

Spell check likes to change things. I need to turn it off. That was suppose to be Krall.
