matt Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 i just got the repress over the weekend and it skips like crazy during stickin in my eye and bob. anyone else have any problems with this? its almost impressive how much this skips. i started to think about how interesting it would be if a label put out a record in which they knew skipped and just did so to see how many people would contact them about the problem. just to "experiment" and see how many people actually listen to their records.

adamlikesmusic Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 This was brought up some months ago. My copy plays fine. That'd be an expensive experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protestsong00 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 my copy is completely fucked, I was so bummed when I played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxfesterxx Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 here is my story on this my friend bought this from fat and he told me his skipped... I played the copy i bought worked perfect...... Then He brought his copy and played it on my turntable no issues at all. So my conclusion it has something to do with the turntable/pressing.....

phantommaggot Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Mine skips on Soul Doubt, did you get yours from Interpunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brennan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 no skipping on any of my epitaph represses. i'm also of the opinion that this has more to do with turntable/set-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 tried it on all 3 record players at home and have the same luck. adjusting the tonearm/counterweight and still its all over the place. cleaned it and all the usual stuff. really don't think thats the problem. ordered from fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabepunktony Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Mine skips too, though I forget on what songs and I can't check at the moment. Definitely depressing. Oh, I got my from myself, who got it from RevHQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 First thing you want to do is make sure that your table is level. You want to do front to back and side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 all is level and well. i actually just got a new turntable about 2 weeks ago and have had nothing but good luck with it since i set it up. i've made minor adjustments when i have had to but with the exception of that repress of goddamnit i haven't picked up a new record that skips this bad.

hobophobic Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have the same problem with my Punk in Drublic and SLATFATS represses. My original PID works fine, its just the represses that are giving me problems. I dont have any skipping problems like this with any of my other records. This is to big of a coincidence to be just turntable problems. If there are so many people who are having the same problem, its obviously a pressing defect. The records should play on all turntables without a problem (assuming the turntable is set up correctly). If this is happening with a majority of the Epitaph represses, shouldnt something have been caught in the test presses? Did they even listen/make any test presses?

This thread doesn't provide an unbiased sample group. I do find it strange though that some people have problems and others clearly don't when it should all be the same pressing plates.

This thread doesn't provide an unbiased sample group. I do find it strange though that some people have problems and others clearly don't when it should all be the same pressing plates. I didnt actually mean a majority of the people...i meant a majority of the nofx represses. So far ive heard people having problems with white trash, punk in drublic, and SLATFATS. Not so sure about heavy petting zoo (eating lamb). Although my Liberal Anamation worked fine. It seems like something when wrong with these represses. Or not enough time or care was put into them. It seems like Epitaph could have just rushed the pressings to get them into the stores. Also, from what Ive heard, the ones that skip all seem to skip on the same exact songs. Obviously this cant just be a coincidence. But youre right, they should all be from the same plates and all sound the same. Maybe some styluses are a little wider than others, and because of this they may pick up these defects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least the pressing plant probably checks out to see if a copy sounds all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
