stripedmenace Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I recently purchased Rancid's first 4 albums on colored vinyl. Although they sound fine when playing there is a TON of surface noise between tracks and this is on all the pressings. Now I have a few NOFX records on black vinyl and they sound amazing and I have the Bad Religion box set which are all on some version of red and most of them sound good so I was a little upset at the quality of these Rancid albums. Anyone else running into this? chiefwahoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't recall any of my color re-issue Rancid albums having any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't recall any of my color re-issue Rancid albums having any issues. Same. No real issues with surface noise on any of my copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else running into this? Did you happen to clean these first? That will totally help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripedmenace Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah that was the first thing I did. Could they require heavier tracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripedmenace Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well I moved my weight from 2.5 to 3 grams and it virtually removed all surface noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
