  1. curious to fins out where the problem lies ... bought the vinyl copy in holland, only to see serious scratches and marks on all sides, some more than others .. the only audible scratches are at the starts of each side, it looks as if a rectangular wipe has been made over the vinyl, its audible the first 20-30 seconds for white as snow i.e ... I went back with my copy, but all copies were the same, also copies from one other store in the same town, so I am wondering what went wrong here, did they print these at record industry ? Will other countries have their records pressed " locally" ??
    I am gonna return my copies on monday, I was allowed to take m home and see if the problem was too big ... and it is .... it is really shame, such a nice package !!!
    Hope it will be resolved ... I mean, I also press records (dance music) but if they deliver this, I would seriously NOT accept this .... it hurts the music !!!
  2. That's certainly a shame, heard no other news on this so it might be just you.
  3. Just examined my vvinyl. I have no intention of playing it so I can't rate the sound quality but the Vinyls themselves are not mint. They are blemished towards the edges as if they have been rubbed against some other surface. This is on booth vinyls. There are also some very faint scratches on the vinyl aswell.

    None of this matters to me but this has to be a bastard for anyone wishing to play the vinyl. Why not just put the discs in some type of thin liner and then put it into the sleeve? Surely this would resolve the issue?

    Aaargh-thats a dissapointment. If I wanted a used vinyl, I would have bought it for three bucks at a local store. Hope my best buy usa order is in better condition. Sorry about yours
