That's by design. Record 1 is labeled 01A and 01B. Record 2 is 02A and 02B.
I’ll keep this in mind when I listen to my copy! Should be noticeable if the distortion is ‘brutal’! Hope your replacement copy is good!
Nope. My copy is just perfect.
Haha it's not. All my other albums sound perfect. Stylus is barely half a year old. It sounds exactly like what happens when one of my dogs hairs get stuck around my stylus, but no dog hair. BVSC sounds heavenly. Ghostface sounds digital but decent, as expected.
I get paid in pure unfiltered aggravation.
Man who knows, maybe it is my cart. But I can't imagine it would be if everything else sounds good. This amount of distortion, if it was misalignment, I gotta think most of my other vinyl would sound like crap too. But I have a spare stylus so I'll check that when I get home to at least remove wear from suspicion. But I'm pretty sure it's my copy of the album...Finally listening to mine and I'll report back.
Same for Shabaka but much much less, and really only RIGHT at the end of the side. THANK FUCK IT'S NOT JUST ME. But that sucks and I'm sorry but thank you for letting me know. I was starting to second guess myself...
I think about 75% of the VMP Shabaka's were like this. I haven't seen many people saying they actually got clean ones. Too bad because it sounds really good otherwise.
Whoaaaaa holy hell that third one is insane, it sounds like your amp is melting down. Thankfully mines not that bad, man.... This is why I maintain GZ is the worst pressing plant in the world. There are worse smaller plants but none that put out the volume that they do. They infect the entire vinyl world with their suck. I'd say 50% of the vinyl I get from them is badly screwed up in some way.
That's odd because the black version is GZ, but no I don't think Hand Drawn is related to GZ. Either way, GZ SUCK.Shabaka was pressed at Hand Drawn. Is that also GZ?
Have you listened to Spiritualized 02a song 2 yet?
Pops all over for the first 20-30 seconds.
