    Unless you're vetting everyone who joins the discord, who is to say that flippers aren't joining there too?  Or that any of us VC regulars aren't low-key flipper scum behind the scenes?  Just a few variables to consider.  Between that and subreddits for limited vinyl drops, flippers will [unfortunately] prosper no matter what, I'm sure.

    Definitely good questions/concerns and yes - that’s the plan. We require everyone to match their channel name to their username on here as verification. Obviously this doesn’t completely rid the problem but it’s a very good starting point. 

    Since starting it up we’ve had a few different restocks and notifications for things people were looking for that we’re easily able to cop because it wasnt posted on here or reddit.

    RSD included as well, I think everyone in the server got what they wanted either through someone sending them the link or finding it on their own etc.

    the goal is to create an authentic community for people that just want to fill out their collections and help each other out in the process vs. an internet free-for-all including resellers

    gets pretty old....  as @Chrundle The Great said, nothing memorable.
     

    if I wanted blatantly emo self-deprecating ethos, there’s bands that do this way better imo. I think all this “spokesperson for sorrow” shit got to Jeremy’s head.

    just tested March on my clear w/ orange/blue several times and plays fine, although a bit warped.

     

    setup: Technics SL1400 w/ Shure M79XE Jico and nice stage/stereo.

     

    side note: this remaster sounds perfect - not overdone in any way,  just right and preserves the original rawness nicely.

    Orange copy tested as well with no issues.

    very thankful I didn’t get hit by this.

    i now have a "better put THIS needle on" needle to check test presses

    thanks for all the transparency and info - as someone that has experience with plants and issues within production runs, this seems like United has the liability in QA to make sure the issue doesn't replicate on their end (especially when not present in approved TP's).  the fact that the master works fine on certain copies shows there's an issue on United's side with their pressing process - likewise, a locked groove like that is typically due to excess wax in that area on the stamper.  again, i'm no expert but I feel like United is trying to shift blame the mastering engineer when the actual problem is in their court.

    ZAO aside, United is pretty notorious for inconsistency in QA across production runs - hopefully they make it right.
