SOOOO, here is my update on the new purchased vinyl from Barnes & Noble, i am a jazz ,fusion lover,the album i purchased was the jazz impressions of a boy named Charlie Brown, by Vince Guaraidi, the vinyl color was orange which i thought was kinda cool!!!, so i cleaned it  and zapped it with my discwasher Zerostat,put it on the table first thing i noticed as i clamped it down in the center it was warped,the vinyl is VERY THIN , NOT AUDIOPHILE  QUALITY, so as the needle played at the begining the surface noise was very bad, like  it was dust on the needle, jumped in the batmoble back to old b&n was told they will only exchange it ,no money back!!!  but you can get your money back if you don't open it,now they do sell vinyl that is thicker but of course ,YOU WILL PAY MORE= THIN  $21.00  THICK  $26.00  can someone lead me to some good quality vinyl, online shoping, that has a decent return policy.
Thank you guys!! for your help, the table that I have is a SME model 15 and my other vinyl played very well on it,the vinyl from Barnes &Noble was badly warped, and they did  take the vinyl back,and yes the thickness in vinyl does MAKE  A DIFFERANCE, other's have returned very thin vinyl back because of quality, i have started to invest in more MOFI releases with 180 gram, it work's for me.
