My replacement copy of Phoenix is on the way. @slabsofvinyl have you put in for a replacement?

Thank you on behalf of everyone else with the issue for sending a video. Sounds like everyone on here who stated they got one, except one person, had the issue

One person claimed in here that theirs was fine, several pages back

Sucks so many people are having issues this month, but I can't say I'm shocked. I'm getting to the point of avoiding anything pressed at GZ with a splatter pattern. They have proven to me time and time again that they can't pull it off. There's the non-fill, the pimples, and the general poor matching of vinyl material's inherent surface noise. I wish VMP would move away from them, or at least stick to solid colors with low surface noise, but it doesn't seem likely...

They must not be replacing too many, because they're now on sale at the store.

Was about to clean my copy of Phoenix, but I could see this as soon as the album came out of the sleeve... sigh

If they would like to send me a spare MoFi MasterTracker cartridge to test playback, I would be happy to do so. My personal cartridge will not be touching that album.

I now have two copies of each Doves reissue album all pressed by GZ and all with the same identical popping issues on the last 30 seconds of the final track on side A and B on Lost Souls and Last Broadcast and C & D on Some Cities. I went through 3 of "Some Cities" with all the same issues. They're numbered and all of the albums I checked were 1000's away from each other in number and no difference. One is even in the low 600's and same thing. I'm pretty sure they're all like this. GZ can get f*cked. I hate them.

Damn you can fit an entire wallet filled with nickels under that

Yeah, but they said A nickel, as in one. Since this clearly fits more than one nickel, it does not meet the criteria for replacement.

This one would probably fit an entire nickle all the way under without even touching the record. If I ever need a tent for a nickle, I have that resource now.

I sent in the video of Stars, and now I'll be getting a replacement as well. I noticed the clicking is somewhat present on most of side B, but it's only really obvious near the end.

I'm getting a new copy, too. When I emailed in I asked if this was a widespread problem knowing darn well that 99% of the people here have the issue and got the response " I don't believe these are widespread issues at this time, but I have seen some other instances of similar issues."
OK...
