i can't tell how serious this question is? u_u

i'm new to this whole "buying new vinyl" thing. When my brand new Goldfrapp LP has a skip the first time out of the shrinkwrap, am I supposed to:

a) Complain to the label
b) Return it to the record store
c) Suck it up
d) Treat this as some Christian Marclay statement on the originality of my LP and consider myself blessed that I'm enlightened enough to appreciate the permeability of my physical object

Definitely C if it's just one skip.

I bought The Best of Bread yesterday. I'd never bought a Bread record before. Really like all of Side One. David Gates is really good.

for used records, especially cheap ones, i can overlook a skip.

for a new LP, i'd take it back and exchange it for another copy.

e) blog about the sorry state of vinyl manufacturing

shit's 180 gram! I wonder if maybe my needle just isn't pressing hard enuf?

Re. Gates: I mean REALLY good. I just never tuned in on it before, hearing those songs on the radio.

seriously it seems like every other discussion on sp0ckm0rgu3 is complaining about the problems with vinyl pressing and manufacturers and such.

the goldfrapp vinyl came with a CD in a little sleeve and that seems like the best solution to pretty much everything. i wish more bands would do that instead of providing completely useless "download cards" for me to throw away

i can't imagine some kid in a used record store 20 years from now coming across a "download card" and not ROFLing over how retarded and useless it is.

New Liars LP has the CD in there too iirc

a) Complain to the label
b) Return it to the record store
c) Suck it up
d) Treat this as some Christian Marclay statement on the originality of my LP and consider myself blessed that I'm enlightened enough to appreciate the permeability of my physical object

how new is your needle? sometimes if I have a brand new record that skips it's cuz my needle's getting worn out (esp. if the record's really bass-y)

I think Ian was being sincere btw? who knows, lol

re: download card if I'm buying on vinyl I don't want a second copy on CD to take up shelf space, I want files for my ipod

a little CD in a cardboard sleeve barely takes up a 1/8 inch of space and will mean digital files for your ipod long after your hard drive crashes

real answer is to not buy vinyl -- can't remember if i've ever had a CD skip right out of the jewel case

great board to air this opinion on

i certainly think so

also available as an e-book:

yeah, sorry y'all -- you're right, wasn't the thread for me to suggest switching to CDs

xxpost Best of Bread is the classic $1 record. pure 24k mellow gold

found a stack of records on a newspaper box yesterday. left most of them, took these.

billy cobham - inner conflicts (only heard first song, but holy shit, this is a crazy record!)
john lennon - rock'n'roll (er, didn't realize it was all 50s/60s rock covers. hmm)
the band - rock of ages.
can't remember the exact title, but something like The Country Singers - Truck Driving Songs

he had lots of other stuff i wanted, but i couldn't justify spending the cash. um, cuz i don't have much at the moment. so many john lee hooker records i wanted! i had to stop myself.

i'm just glad thurston didn't see the friends album before i did. he likes to shop there in the summer. he probably already has two though.

excited to find the brainstorm album too, come to think of it.

Van Halen - s/t
