    The official Lydia IG reposted a Near Mint video of it spinning when it was first released, that's pretty much the only source of legitimacy with this press. 

    plausible that it could have maybe been someone on their team that just assumed it was a story of someone spinning an older press and reposted it? 

    did anyone see the band promote this press at all (outside that one repost) since it was announced?

    got mine today... the C/D disc is warped to hell and there are a ton of locked grooves.... sigh. Maybe ill give it a good clean and put some books on it and hopefully it will get better.

    also weird to send these out with no polybag or nothing. Just raw dawged it. 

    Got it flattened with some books and a good cleaning did wonders. 
     

    Honestly shocked the deluxe is still available cause the strings versions of the songs are fucking incredible and not available anywhere else. That c/d disc is worth the price alone.

    Thank you so much for your responses. I don’t think I am able to adjust/reconfigure the tonearm of my turntable in any way, possibly due to the fact that it is a cheap one. Can I ask all of you why this would only be happening with select records? I know that with one of the vinyl at least that I returned for an exchange, that the new exchanged record worked perfectly well and did not have the same problems as the original. Why would this be the case? I should also point out that the skipping occurs only in certain places on the record, but it’s the exact same places each time round I play. I would be very reluctant to splash out on a higher-end turntable, as my initial intention was to only to engage with the vinyl resurgence and the turntable that I have allows me to do that for the most part. I’m still not convinced that I haven’t just been very unfortunate with my vinyl purchases, although I have been buying new and from reputable retailers. Interestingly, when I mentioned this problem to a friend, he too suggested that it may be a ‘balancing’ issue. 

    vinyl is a slippery slope, its not something you can just dip your toes in. as some people say here its "the hobby".... you may as well spend the money to get a nice setup that you can have for the rest of your vinyl listening life and casually listen to vinyl at your leisure, vs having a suitcase crosley that destroys the grooves of your records every time you play them cause you want to "engage" with the "vinyl resurgence". the way you word this sentence, it makes me feel like you just want to collect vinyl cause its cool, and that seems douchey. either you're in, or you're out imo.

    Yeah, around 25% of your records sharing the same issue still points to the turntable being the issue. I probably have close to 2000 pieces of vinyl now, and very (very) few actually have pressing defects that cause skips. I could probably count them on one hand.

    The fact that it's happening with select records is hard to really pinpoint. One copy may have had a tiny warp, that was just enough to bump the needle up. Maybe the grooves are holding dirt, or there are imperfections in the grooves you can't see. It could be anything. 

    Definitely try the  penny thing and report back. 

    also could be the mix. if its really low end, or bass heavy, it could be making the arm jump.

    Forgot when these were supposed to ship...hard to get details when they deleted the webpage.

    Odd that Assailants PO was after but is shipping first.

    Anyone get any updates?

     

    Edit: Corey got back to me pretty quick - ships in July.

    yeah seems odd to delete the entire listing the second it sells out. Also, did he tell you when in july? july is 3 days away
