Can always try amazon. They basically take returns on anything with free return shipping if it is damaged or defective. It's definitely worth owning if you get a clean copy.

Stress On The Sky Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My copy plays pretty smoothly (a couple of crackles but nothing that actually impedes the sound), sorry to hear so many people are having problems with it. Such a brilliant album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkeyelids Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Got my THIRD copy today and this one finally sounds alright, none of the crackling over powers the songs anymore which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The copy I bought from Amazon sounds fine. That sucks that a lot of people are having problems. I'm enjoying this more every time I listen to it. It's not his best work, not even close, but it is a nice mellow Nick Cave record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Bummed to hear about the poor QC on the vinyl pressing, hope it gets fixed in a repress or something. Took me two tries to get a good Carrie & Lowell, so maybe I'll do the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negavinyl Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Still need to get this, any updates, or is it still just a crap shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell the new pressing apart from the first because it is now in a normal sized sleeve instead of the original 13" x 13" sleeve. https://www.discogs.com/Nick-Cave-The-Bad-Seeds-Skeleton-Tree/release/9299504 negavinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 FWIW, I lucked out and got a clean copy of the original pressing from Elusivedisc.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I somehow missed the bumps when this was released, didn't realize some people were having sound issues. Glad my copy from Bullmoose showed up sounding a-ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones I've seen here in the US didn't strike me as having a larger than normal sleeve but I'll look out for that. Much appreciated.

negavinyl Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This helps per your discogs link: "Different catalogue no and bar code. Bar code printed on sleeve rather than stickered." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
