my theory is that the people who are left pressing records have way more work than they can handle. major labels, little labels, all kinds of people want new vinyl now.

worst thing that happened to me wrt to this subject recently was pulling out my copy of time fades away only to discover that somehow a pine needle had found its way into the sleeve and created a nasty little scar on side one. Fuck.

xp: that's true, but they are still doing test pressings first...

"NOW" it has a deep scratch across the first two cuts? meaning you did that or your cat or something?

i can't believe how much new vinyl i see that is warped. new pressings. at least 5 out of 10.

This drives me crazy... got the new Can Lost Tapes vinyl box set last week, and out of 5 records, 4 are perfect, and one is warped... not enough to stop it playing, but enough to piss me off...
