I am very careful with my vinyl. I’ve got Charles Tolliver’s Music Inc. Reissue on Pure Pleasure Records (Strata East). It’s one of my favorite records and with 30 euros a pop they aren’t really cheap.
So there I was, taking the record very carefully of my player and in just a second... I dropped it, tried to catch in scratch it all across the wall. Now I won’t repeat the swearing words I used but boy did I hate myself that very moment.... still hoping for a miracle I took a good look at the record hoping it was ok but there were scratches all over unfortunately.
there is no protection against human stupidity unfortunately
