I take it to mean, "we're actually going to look at and play a record to see if it sounds like shit before we start shipping them all out." Some of the stuff that was said in the Anthology apologies and I think before they killed the forum made me think they didn't used to do this.Also "new production process" ? What's up with that ? Do we really believe that ? Is this the reason MRP shows up a lot recently for their releases ?
I would absolutely do that. However check at your local shops if you have any to see if they flatten. Some do, and it would save the crazy shipping costs.The worst part about the warping of The Comet is Coming is that it could easily have been prevented. While I haven't played mine yet, it looks a bit warped and I think it's because the shrink wrap was too tight for the gatefold style that it is. Apparently this was pressed at QRP... this is way below their standard so something seems off. Either way, I'll update the post once I spin it. Looks like I may be sending it to you @Mather to flatten with your fancy machine...
For the record, My Comet is Coming came flat and sounds good. Got lucky I suppose.
You’re not crazy, I had some of those on sides A & D, just not as bad as yours. I sent in a few videos today. They sounded like loud pops to me. I’m going to jump ship on this one and ask for credits or a swap.@Mather @Djxfactor511
Ok so my package arrived and im spinning joel ross now. I've had a few beers, chilling on the sofa listening and I start hearing these weird 'glitch' noises and im convinced im going mad. The whole C side is littered with them at random times. Ive added a short clip to youtube which I will send to VMP, but god damn its weird. Heres a link
It happens on the same spots each time, so its clearly something wrong with the vinyl, but the fact that it sounds like some sort of feedback distortion is nuts.
How weird? Its such a strange noise as well. Like it sounds as if its meant to be there (it obviously isnt) as its not the typical pop or crackle sound. Im going to listen through the other records I got from them then send off a complaint. Super annoyed as this is one of the albums of the year for me so far.You’re not crazy, I had some of those on sides A & D, just not as bad as yours. I sent in a few videos today.

Does it make almost a digital "zzzzzip" sound? Really quick like half a second each time?How weird? Its such a strange noise as well.

Yeah thats it, but the bit I recorded had 2 one after another.Does it make almost a digital "zzzzzip" sound? Really quick like half a second each time?

Edit: Heres the example Im going to send vmp
In my experience I THINK that's usually from those little craters you see in the vinyl. That's what causes it on my system. If you get the vinyl under a good bright light you can see them...Yikes! What causes that?

It sounds just like the standard black, and my Side A had a playable warp, but when I flipped it over Side B it had (to put it in their terms) a few nickels worth warp that I was too nervous to even put my needle on.
But paying $11 more for the limited pink and waiting a little over two months for something I’m afraid to play is highly disappointing.
Exactly, just “meh” all around.
That sound is usually associated with non-fill:Yikes! What causes that?
Coloured vinyl can be more volatile for sure. My flattener is pretty high tech so I don't think it has the same issues in terms of creating noise, it doesn't actually heat the grooves, only the inner label and outer run in. Leaves the music untouched.
IT'S A GAWDDAMN DF-02 YOU PHILISTINESounds like a real nice vinyl flat you bought there.
