Does anybody else's copy of Total sound really wonky on the b-side? It sounds like it's warped, but the vinyl is flat as a board. It's mostly noticeable on So Far Away

 

Am I hearing things? Are others like this?

 

Is anyone else experiencing this on any of the LPs besides Total?  My copy of Warning Device sounds very similar to Total and gets very warbly on the B side.  Of course, none of my LPs appear to be flat either.  All of them seem slightly bowled and/or pressed slightly off center.  If I put on side A, the center label is slightly raised off the platter, it I put on side B, the edges of the record are all raised.

 

I've been trying to listen to judge the sound of all 8 records before sending Todd an email about it.  Freak Out, They Came From The Shadows, and Singles A/B sound pretty good, despite the odd appearance when spinning on the record player.  Singles C/D, Another Way, and Live in 06 are okay, but seem slightly shaky in spots, particularly on the B sides.  Total and Warning Device are the worst sounding.  Anyone else see similar flaws?

 

All this being said, the box set looks amazing and sounds great for the most part.  Definitely appreciate all the work Todd put into this and the Lillingtons set.

 

Damn, wish I had gotten one of those incorrectly sent metal box sets. I did get my regular box and red Sack LP today, and both look great. Thanks so much for putting these out Todd!

I saw them for the SOOL tour but the best show for me was when Jughead played with them! That was a hell of a show!

 

Was that when they played in Chicago with the Mopes?
