returning vinyl for warpage?

Ok so I am kinda new to vinyl so I am not sure if I am just being too picky so here is the deal:
I purchased 2 new LPs, Beatles white, and Them Crooked Vultures. Both are double lp, and the first song or so has a noticable warp. They play fine...but it's awful nerve racking to watch the needle ride up and down over the waves LOL. I have purcased about 30 records new from the same store and never had this problem before. Since they play fine, is it unreasonable to go back and request another copy? TCV wasn't that big of a deal but the darn Beatles cost a chunk of change!

thanks for your input.

Record stores don't get to return their records to the manufacturer (although maybe MusicDirect does), I don't know why.

You should try to return them though, I have the Crooked Vultures album, and mine is fine, so you should definitely return your.

Where did you get a new Beatles White Album??

It's not the easiest or most economic desicson, but I bought a periphery ring so I wouldn't have to worry about that again.

I have had 3 different versions of the 30th anniversary DSOTM and all of them have absolutely sucked. Noisey, scratched, and warped. I found a perfect 1st pressing, and although it doesn't sound as good as the parts of the 30th anniversary that were in perfect shape, it's much better on the whole because it's not warped, and doesn't have a ton of surface noise in different parts.
