MoFi - Are You Kidding Me?

You will. Its just a matter of time

I don’t think so @millercarbon. If you watch any videos from QRP you will see that they wear gloves handling their pressings. They of course sell other labels and they are not liable for how those labels mistreat their product.

You have a wet cleaner?

Yes @bstatmeister, I have an Okki Nokki, but after a few hundred LPs of cleaning, and covering my ears, I decided to upgrade to an Audio Desk Systeme.

I actually think it is a big deal. We spend $50 of hard earned cash for a 180gr 45rpm LP, and it comes like that? I expect more. I am very choosy anymore of what LPs I purchase and where they come from.

Per an earlier suggestion, I contacted MoFi with my displeasure.  First they asked for my order information.  Now they want me to take a photo of it - like you can really get a good photo of a finger print on an LP.  

Thanks all for the humor & comments, though the social commentary on my word choice was ickin' weird and off topic (there I didn't use an F - happy?).  I am now cleaning with my Audio Deck system and it is working great.  Just to recap the original post, the Dire Straits LP plays fine, I simply think it is poor quality control that it arrives with a finger print.  

Thanks Mike B.  Appreciate your reply.  Enjoy the vinyl.  I am now going through and listening to all my LPs that go back to my high school days. Starting at A and going through them all.  Then will start into the blues collection.  Should be finished sometime in 2024, but now that I am retired maybe I will make faster progress. Some of it is in great conditions, others not so much.  But, I really do enjoy these new high quality pressings that are coming out.  They simply sound outstanding.  Enjoy the analog music everyone.

@crazyeddy   My point exactly.  Thanks for reaffirming.  I expect more than what I got for the money.  And, I never have these issues with Quality Record Pressings.  Watch the video a  http://www.qualityrecordpressings.com/index.cfm?go=video  You'll see that they wear gloves when then inspect the LPs, and put them into the record sleeves.  This is what I expect when I spend $50 on an LP.
