vinyl quality on "place in the country"

i played this colored [aqua] wax 3-4 times max

made a cd copy and filed it

i recently took out my copy and played on my 1210

it plays with pops and clicks and i did not mistreat the record at all when i handled it

anyone else have this problem?

shit is fragile yo

Mine's great. Maybe time to change your needle.

mine was fine when i bought it, way back when. wow, haven't heard it in ages.

still a lovely album sleeve

just handling it equals boner

BoC vinyl is like sweet sweet candy.

More than once and it's fucked FOREVER

so be careful

mine played those pops and cracks from the first play, sucks .

I've played mine dozens of times. minor crackles, once in a while. Sounds great.

lol fuck

What's the point of owning vinyl if you never fucking play it?

All of my old Warp records were obviously very well loved by whoever owned them before me, but they still sound gorgeous.

Vinyl is for looking at and not touching! clearly you are not a hardxcore vinyl enthusiast

I don't wanna seem like a dick here, but it seems like if some of you are playing your records once or twice, and they start to crackle and pop, maybe you just never change your needles. Depending on the cartridge, this can cost just a little bit of cash, but just do it once or twice a year if you like to play your records a lot.

I can understand when a brand new record is a bad press, or poor quality and crackles throughout. But it should be a rare occurrence. If a record sounds good on first play, but on second third or forth sounds like shit, it isn't the vinyl. It's your needle, or your tracking force, or azimuth, etc

Christ!

There are two different pressings of this right? Different shades of blue??
