My Nat Turner replacement showed up today. First track still skips. Not as bad, but at least 5-6 times

BOOOOOO!!! That sucks. I also received my replacement today. I don't think it skips (I thought one time it did, but set the styles back and I didn't hear upon relistening). It does still have a small, noticeable warp similar to my first copy which did skip... A lot! At the end of the last track on side A there seems to be something (gunk, debris) causing a pretty loud clicking noise for about the last 45 seconds. I tried to clean it off to no avail.

Does anyone outside of VMP have any idea who Storf is? Like.. why would this be included on a Wiki entry?

He’s been a journalist / writer for Vice. That was one of his biggest credits. But he’s also freelanced for a lot of publications over the years. Much of it is music.

What’s weird is that the source for his name mentioned in the Wikipedia article doesn’t link to a story credited by him. 🤔

That really sucks! Do you have access to a vacuum wet cleaning system? If you don’t have one some record stores do. Maybe someone from N&G lives near you that does.

Anyone in the Twin Cities, MN is welcome to use mine. Looks like you’re quite far away from me.

Yeah that final track noise, I find it's a very frequent issue with GZs pressings. I don't think it's something you can remove with cleaning. I've had more VMP pressings that I can count that have this issue. Cleaning has never fixed any of them. Replacement time.

The Catholic hospital I worked for has the stations of the cross in art form (wire and wood), this is supposed to be Simon helping Jesus carry the cross but it always looked like Jesus playing a guitar/bass and groovin'

Love it! I’ve seen this where I work and I’ve always thought the same thing. Haha

If the label of the release typically includes a DC then the VMP usually will too

I seem to recall there being a rant on Twitter by a VMP employee about why they don’t include download codes. It boiled down to “if you want to listen to it on digital, then why are you buying the record?” I’m guessing it costs more for VMP as well.

My LNT Floating Points didn’t have one and their label always includes one.
