Vinyl Me Please Classics

I think the record companies know you now, and they save all the factory rejects that fail QC for you.😆😆😆
Dude, I had inexplicably 3 replacement discs sent for the pressing wide messed up 2nd disc from OutKast ATliens. Really only needed one... they sent 3. All three arrived looking like this...

And the funny thing is the first VMP run was actually dead flat... but with that terrible GZ right channel noise. They fixed the noise, and added the warp.

Plot twist: what if Mathers platter actually IS UNEVEN AND THIS HAS BEEN THE ISSUE ALL ALONG?

I've often considered whether it has the ability to warp space and time... I'm running out of explanations.

But these 3 are so bad you can literally hold them in your hands and easily see how jacked they are... It's bonkers. Especially when the package arrives in perfect condition containing other totally flat records... I'm telling you, that space and time thing might have some legs...

@Mather how long have you been with VMP?

The reason I ask is that I came in around the time of Gorillaz and I'm sure I never had the same level of quality issues with them that I have nowadays (although Gorillaz had the pressing-wide lock groove issue). I was looking through the early VMP records I have and cant remember getting replacements for many of them at all. I feel like every shipment that I get from VMP has at least 1 issue now.

Don't get me wrong they always replace them and I end up with what I expected, but still...

Just wondered if you have a similar experience?

I think I started in late 2017 and it was always not great for me in terms of pressing issues, always GZ though, never had issues with Classics even when GZ initially pressed them, I think the runs being smaller helped. But recently it's constant yes. I mean, again, they will always fix it for the most part. But woof it's rough right now...

Everything flat as a Russian tank in Ukraine over here...
