A1 has continuous noise on my copy. I did a needle drop below. Is this what yours sounds like?
Phoenix - A1 - Lisztomania [VMP Reissue].wav
drive.google.com
Fairly evident at 0:00, 0:58, 2:07, 3:11, and 4:00, then just kind of disappears as the side goes on.
Disappointing, because the mastering is great.

I don't have this but that sounds like the usual crap GZ pressing routine. I've had more of these than I can count over the past 1.5 years with VMP. GZ is utter trash.A1 has continuous noise on my copy. I did a needle drop below. Is this what yours sounds like?

That is exactly what I have going on. I sent your link to VMP and told them that mine does the exact same thing.
The rest of the record sounds amazing. Hopefully they send me a copy that sounds as good but without the defect.

Has there ever been a month with no, somewhat widespread, issues?

I still contend that the movement from Fences --> Love Like a Sunset I + II is magic. It's a great pressing, as much as I'm not in a place to desire heaping any praise VMP's way.

@slabsofvinyl they’re sending a new record. Thanks for that recording. I sent the link and explained I was hearing the same thing.

Same. Hopefully it was just a bad few and not more widespread...

After reading Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl I have to focus pretty hard on not crying when I hear One More Hour. (also my favorite SK song)
@Mather after reading your portlandia revelation, you should read that book ^. wasnt even the biggest SK fan going into and I think its easily my favorite music memoir.

SK is a very good ROTM. I really respect that band, but they've never clicked for me. I bought the boxed set and listened to all of their albums a number of times, The Woods is my favorite and I liked the most recently once pretty well too. For some reason I feel the same way about them that I feel about Led Zeppelin, I totally get why they would be so many people's favorite band but they don't do much for me overall.

That's a new one. What are the qualifiers? Like do you have to fit the entire nickle under it? Or just the edge of it? Are we talking a US nickle? What about a Canadian nickle? I mean it's fine because most of mine you could fit a mug of coffee under so I'm not concerned but still...

What is a nickel and where do I obtain such a measuring device?

I'm guessing VMP do not realize that most (pretty much all) countries don't have American nickels... or nickels at all so... I'm sure this will go well...

I'm being pedantic to be fair, but there is a tone deafness in this if it is indeed a new "policy" that is sadly consistent with recent developments.
