  1. my thoughts on this are if it's worth an extra $50 to you to have a 1 in a million chance at getting a variant over everyone else then go for it.

     

     

    edit: on second thought, you should absolutely do it. no question.

    Haha.  I don't lurk here enough to know if you're prone to sarcasm, can't tell if your edit is or not.  Honestly just want the record even if it's in black but red would be nice.... Already ordered from amazon but I see some of those may be cancelled. 

  2. did these affected records not have dust sleeves? i'm worried about my records being affected by the heat even further now

    The issue with these records is that the packaging had no dust sleeve at all.  It had a paperboard insert on one side of the record and on the other side a clear plastic film which left residue on that side of the record.  My pictures in my intial post should show what I mean.  Most albums aren't packaged like this so you shouldn't have much to worry about as far as I know. 

  3. No because I said something to him when I got it and got a "oh yeah forgot to mention that".

    What a dick.  I feel bad for you, the guy I bought mine from essentially said the same thing but I had gotten the album for about $18 so I decided to just hold onto it.  Out of the 1000 or so of these that were pressed (assuming you have the same white pressing that I do) I'm sure many others had the issue like you said and SOMEONE has to have fixed it.  Hypothetically it's two different materials and one should be able to be separated from it.... or maybe I'm too optimistic. 

  4. Posted this same question on reddit, and was told it's an "outgassing" issue. 

     

    I have Worship and Tribute by Glassjaw on vinyl and it seems the plastic insert has melted onto the vinyl leaving a thin residue that results in thick white noise when I pop it onto my turntable.  It is only on the side that the plastic was touching; the side that the paperboard was touching is pristine. 

    Record and sleeve (hard to show in a picture, it looks a little blotchy in areas): http://imgur.com/a/i4GUy

     

    Any idea how to fix this?

     

    Thanks!
