I can’t remember the last time I spun a new record and it was truly flat (w/weight) so truly flat to the naked eye. I buy a lot of records coming from various plants and even the good ones have a lot of problems but today is a good day! FLAT!
Couldn’t sleep gave up a couple hours ago listened to the Royal Ballet Gala Performances for the first time and it was incredible, can’t wait to spin in when I can crank the volume!
Do any original pressings of Ricky Lee Jones’ self titled sound good. I’m on my fifth really visually good looking copies and cleaned all of them thoroughly and they are always noisy. It’s my one of “that situation” records lol should of got the fucking mofi.
“A Lovely Bunch Of” Al Jazzbo Collins And The Bandidos is a delightful surprise. I didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into, I presumed it was a straight post bop album.
I am anecdotally convinced that of the new records I get that are pressed outside of Pallas, RTI, or QRP 60-80 percent are significantly warped and even from the big three at least 25 percent are. Not to include other pressing defects.
