White Album Deluxe Anniversary edition

Agreed. The new mix is outstanding, even on cd.

Thanks acousticrat33:
Looking at the location of each skip under bright light last night, I saw no imperfections in the grooves or in the album (warpage, cupping, etc).
In fact they are otherwise beautifully pressed--perfectly flat, well centered, with nary a pop or tic. Never before have I seen anything like it. I will probably return it which I do not generally like to do as I usually try to support the vinyl industry which can be plagued with returns. But this is different.

May I ask where you purchased yours as the defect may be in a short run of pressings? Mine was my first vinyl purchase from Amazon which was surprisingly well packed.

A second version from Amazon also skips in the same spot on sides 1 and 2. Goners beware. The deadwax info refers to Miles 1/2 speed Abbey Road Room 30. Maybe time for a shot at Quality Records pressing.

Just received my third version of the White Album Deluxe Anniversary edition from Abbey Road Room 30 in the deadwax. I have not played albums through and through but the Esher Demo albums do not skip in the opening songs on any side. This set was purchased from Music Direct. Clearly the ones I purchased from Amazon were in a bad spot in the production run.
