mjazzg Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 What gets me is when I play an LP I haven't played for a while and there's a scratch. Absolutely no recognition of the scratch the last time it was played. So, who snuck in a scratched it in my absence? Just happened with this. Only a small scratch for a few revolutions but as annoying (and seemingly mysterious) as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Maybe it's not a scratch. It might be a piece of trash got onto the record. A close visible inspection is called for, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Sadly inspection was made and mysterious scratch in evidence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 That record was pressed on soft vinyl and housed in heavy paper sleeves. Marked up right out of the box. Ben is thinking about reissuing it and I am hopeful he uses poly-lined inners next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 That makes me feel a little better, thanks CT Great recording. Deserves a reissue (on tougher vinyl) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrdlu Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I don't currently have a cat, ha ha. Back when I only had LPs, I looked after them all and they were never scratched. It disgusts me, to see how battered a lot of "VG+" LPs are if you buy them second-hand. As you probably know, nearly all sellers say VG+ and you get a noisy LP. LPs from the 70s (e.g. the Blue Note twofers and the LT series) are usually safe to buy, but up to the mid 60s, it's junk or $2000 for a Blue Note with the ear and the nose etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
