I got mine two days ago. It was inside an envelope wrapped with a piece of bubble wrap. Therefore, the sleeve was dented and bent to hell. The vinyl surprisingly was not ruined, but the cover looks like it went thru WW3.

Stoked! I grew up listening to them, and bought the PHM reissue a few years back. Although I think it's amazing, I'm excited to hear this version. This is my favorite NIN record.

I bought mine at a record store. It plays perfectly, and has no warping at all. This is way better than the last album. The little 45 adaptor doesn't fit snugly, so I'm just using the one I already had.

I would love to see the Vaux/Eiffel stuff out on vinyl. Maybe one of these days...

My copy has the label switched as well.

Go to a speaker store and listen. Sometimes what sounds good to you might not sound good to others.

Elusive Disc is the best place I've ever ordered records from. Records come packed in bubble wrap in oversized containers. I recently order 5 records, and they came packed inside a larger box that was filled with styrofoam peanuts. I've never had a bent corner or warped record come from them. They win the best place to order records from. I can't think of a worst.

Ok I bought that thing, read the directions and attempted to use it, only to find out my turntable doesn't have an adjustable counterweight or any kind of anti-skating controls I guess I'm out of luck, Against the Grain is still skipping That totally sucks!!! If your turntable doesn't have a counterweight, it's probably a cheaper turntable, hence the skipping. I have 3000+ records, and not one of them skips. Having a nicer tonearm and stylus with the right tracking force makes a world of difference. Stop buying new records for a few months, and put that money into a quality turntable.

This one gets the job done, but it's not as easy as a digial scale. I had one of these, and compared it to my digitial scale, and it was pretty much spot on. $36 http://www.needledoctor.com/Shure-SFG-2-Stylus-Force-Gauge?sc=2&category=423 Or, you can buy a digital one. Way more accurate, but $139 http://www.needledoctor.com/Pro-Ject-Measure-It?sc=2&category=423

Both my parents had about 50 records a piece. I wish I had a collection to raid...

amen. I have bought all of the epitaph represses and none of them skip. The only time I had a skipping problem was when I received a USB turntable for Christmas (piece of junk - have since stopped using it). The directions had you dial in the tracking force, but my records were still skipping. I bought a stylus force gauge and it said my stylus had a downforce of 10grams, when it should have been 2. The only way I could get 2 was to unscrew the counterweight all the way to the pointof it falling off. I have since tossed it, and just use my main turntable. Conclusion - if you have a turntable that costs less than a few hundred dollars, you should go spend $20 on a stylus force gauge.

It does look sweet,but I still kind of wanted one like this Agreed. Mine looks more rust/red than the picture from the site.

Some people are assholes... The first NOFX "Punk in Drublic" is already on eBay. Buy it now for only $69.99! http://cgi.ebay.com/NOFX-Punk-in-Drublic-LP-BROWN-VINYL-afi-bad-religion_W0QQitemZ190362952276QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item2c52842254#ht_500wt_1182

Go to U-Haul and they have a small box that perfectly fits records. It's literally a perfect fit, and if you're the only one moving them, you can make sure to treat the box nicely. It's about a $1 a box, and they sell them individually. each box holds close to 50 records I believe. I've used these boxes during every move I've ever had in the last 13 years, and never had an issue.

I have a Rega P3 and I ordered 17 LP's (no doubles), and not one of them skipped. I'm not going to play the "you don't know how to set up a turntable" game, since it seems the problem is widespread. However, before I got a tracking force scale, I had a problem with certain records skipping. I paid around $150 and set up my cartridge on my old table, and it instantly fixed the problems with some records skipping. I think my old table wanted a tracking force of 2.25, and bein off by .25 in either direction caused skipping. I highly recommend anyone with skipping problems to get a scale to double check their tracking force.

I know someone makes this crazy expensive record flattening machine to fix warped records. I wish someone would buy one, and for a fee (say $5), you could mail them a record and they would flatten it, and mail it back in a sturdy box to prevent re-warping.

Anyone else's Bad Religion records warped? My copy of suffer and how could hell are super warped. I reordered suffer over the weekend before it sold out, and I'm contemplating getting another copy of how could hell, as it looks horrible when it spins. it plays fine, but looks like the needle should jump off the record.

All of my covers have at least one bent corner. Not the same corner, so it wasn't damaged in shipping. Not a big deal, ad the records play great an look awesome.

Dammit!!!! I don't check the board for a few days, and I missed out big time!!! Looks like I'll be getting one off eBay...

I've already obtained 99% of the records I want, but the ones I'm still looking for are now $500+ on eBay, and the chance of finding them locally is slim to none.

I have this, and it fits in a bags unlimited 5 mil bag. The first time it took a little bit of wiggling to get it in, but the bag stretched to fit around this. Now, it just slips off and on like a normal bag.

You think it's COOL? You think it's cool to put more records out that already are everywhere, just so that the most greedy dudes (Morrissey and Marr) can make an extra buck on top of their huge pile of green? My god you are a weird boy! I would hardly call these records everywhere. Smiths records are hard to find, although when a normal US pressing shows up, it's not all that expensive. I worked at record stores for 4 years, and when Smiths record showed up, they lasted a day or two before being snatched up. I buy records because I like the way they sound, so when someone decides to release audiophile pressings of some of my favorite records, I think it's cool. I also collect records (hence I post on this board), but I'm a bigger fan of someone having the music they like at a reasonable price, instead of paying $$$ on eBay. I don't know how I'm weird, but it appears we just won't see eye to eye on this one.

Agreed, I find these every time I go to a record show for about half the price of these reissues. You seriously have to ask yourself this question?!? The band wants their releases back in print on vinyl, as they know they can make a quick $$$ by doing so. Also, they don't get any money from a used record purchased at a record show. All of The Smiths records you see new at the stores are bootlegs. I think it's cool they want to reissue them, since the last reissues were 10" records.

I'm guessing this is when you got into hardcore, so it's more relevant to you. I don't agree with this statement, but that's just me.
