Needle gets stuck on the brand new 7"

Hello

I bought a brand new 7" record. Record does not seem to have any visible damage. Somehow needle gets stuck on same exact place on second track of side A.  Strangest thing is that after needle got stuck i played the second track again and it played just fine. Then i tried to play that song few hours after that and the needle got stuck again, but on the second attempt right after the first one it played fine again. Might some vinyl expert here know why this happens? I am pretty sure that problem is the record and not my player since all other records seem to play just fine.

Next time it happens, check the rear of your tonearm and see if it's bumping into any obstructions. These could include: Arm lifter mechanism, tonearm wires exiting the back of the tonearm, anti-skate device, etc.
It is possible you got some bad vinyl. Be sure to play new vinyl before the return policy time elapses.
