[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 930425, member: 17918"] Other than the occasional slightly warped record, I?ve not had any major problems with new pressings. It does, I suspect depend partially on the company putting out the record. New artists are much more likely to ?proof? the LP and make sure the pressing is up to scratch, particularly if selling on at gigs. I do have at least one coloured vinyl which despite sounding good has a botched colour on one disc. It does mean it commands 200 euros more than the 20 paid and 100 more than the others so I?m not complaining. Also, Dead Oceans records colour pressings are not that great from the ones I?ve heard. As for old pressings, there were some shockers in the late 80s/early 90s but other than then and the OPEC crisis in ?73/4 when vinyl got very thin mainly fine. [/QUOTE]
