Warped Records


I would say about 75% of the new records I have purchased online or in some of the local shops are warped. The outer edge will almost always have a big hump in it, I can't tell if it is really affecting the sound but it is very disappointing.
I got four new records last night all but three were warped & the one that was not warped skips. Also they seem to be very noisy, The new 200g Led Zeppelin's all have some large pops in them. On a earlier date I took back some warped ones to the store & they put it on a turntable & told me it was normal.
ANother time I sent five records back to amusicdirect.com & they exchanged them for five more warped records.
What's the deal? Anyone else seem to have the same trouble?

It must be the customers fault for bad quality.

When people bought less cds...it was because people were stealing music...not that the economy was weak and the industry priced cds at almost $20 a piece.
However, they had to price them that high because people don't buy enough and steal music....not that the music industry just got caught price fixing music again. Hopefully the music industry will try a make money by working with consumers instead of cheating or gouging them.
