I'm sure they meant to have a locked groove, but either it didn't come out perfect or your tonearm is a little off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got plenty of other records with locked grooves that work, so I'm guessing the groove is slightly off. 24 minutes ago, DOMAN127 said: This thread is making me anxious for the condition of my copy when it shows...it's out for delivery today. Yeah, it's an incredibly tight jacket with everything they've got in it, so I'm guessing a ton of these are going to come with huge seam splits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Mine showed up today too, and has a really bad dish warp too. My weight seems to flatten it out enough to play without distortion thankfully.... at least the A-side. Edit: Side-B skips near the beginning due the to warp, but the locked groove works fine.

sethdavid Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 My funfetti has seam split, looks nice though. Kinda wish I had ordered a "yellow cake" because the one posted here looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjordanbanks Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Anyone else's b-side play like it was pressed way off center? A-side plays perfectly, but on the b-side the tone arm is rapidly swinging left to right causing some extremely audible pitch shifting. I should specify, I got the pokeball variant.

I got the rainbow funfetti variant and the B side is pretty wildly warbling. Was this on purpose? I have no idea, it seems really strange.

DecayToDeath Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Delivery was delayed until today, so I just got it: seam split but only on top, and a noticeable dish warp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thankfully everything's in good enough shape for me re: warping/seamsplits. One split on the right side of the PVC and a couple on the inner, but I don't mind... it's a beautiful release. Only thing I'm weirded out over is the B-side warbling, but it's safe to assume that's impacting the whole press, so I'm not worried much. Pretty great release, overall.

NapalmBrain Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Mine tracks fine, no surface noise, no warble, no skips or IDG. I got a slight split, and you can visually see a slight warp but only on the B-side. Looks beautiful and sounds damn good like it's actually mastered for vinyl. Very happy with my purchase, I got the bubblegum brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Received Funfetti today. It's in damn near perfect condition. Slight dish, but that's to be expected when one side doesn't have a label, it didn't effect playback at all. B side is definitely off center but again, not enough to impact the sound. The lock groove worked fine on my table, though I suspect if it had been much more off center it would have jumped. No seam splits!! ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Is it just me or is this pressing super loud? Sounds awesome, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Based on the last handful or so of posts, I should hold off on this. Sounds like they're all warped and torn apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcafilm Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Mine has a slight warp as to be expected but it doesn't affect playback. No seam splits, so issues with leadouts or B-side playback. I'd highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
