Vinyl records


I have two identical LP's from 1977 in excellent condition, but one plays noticeably louder then the other. Are these inconsistencies pretty common with older vinyl records? I've been into vinyl since 1969, but have never owned two identical LP's until today, so I've never noticed this problem in the past.

No two records are exactly the same. All kinds of variations are possible even with records that appear to be exactly the same.

BTW, FWIW, this is less of an issue with CDs or digital in general I believe. Most CDs of a similar origin will tend to sound mostly the same assuming both are in decent condition.
