JLEWCHUCKEROO Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What turntable do you have? well i don't have the BEST equipment. I have a Numark USB turntable with a Shure cartridge and needle. I also have one of those shitty Crosley all-in-one players that i keep in my kitchen for when i'm cooking / doing dishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 well i don't have the BEST equipment. I have a Numark USB turntable with a Shure cartridge and needle.

When I had a $100 Audio Technica turntable, my copy of Whit Trash skipped all the way through, both sides. I upgraded to a Pro-Ject, no skipping at all.

JLEWCHUCKEROO Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 i have a few friends who have really really nice tables, and yeah nothing ever skips. but that can be a double edged sword in certain cases. for instance, when my band put out our second record, the test press skipped badly on all of our record players, one was my newmark, the other two were the standard Sony record player. however the record played just fine on the label owner's really nice table. when we got the second test press in, the first thing i did was throw it on my shitty all-in-one crosley player (that fake wood model), and it made it through the whole record without skipping. my point is that i would never let something I did be released on vinyl that didn't play right out of the sleeve on an average record player. the average record buyer (like myself) probably has an entry level turntable with a basic needle / cartridge upgrade at most. there's no excuse for selling thousands of people records that skip badly right out of the sleeve. even if it's on a shitty all-in-one crosley, and even if the record isn't cleaned first. of course, a situation like this really shows the importance of record maintenance (basic cleaning), something i didn't do up to this point. but that's because i never had an issue with skipping on 99% of the 200+ records i own. lesson learned. harryq and moonbeams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I've followed this thread pretty closely and haven't seen this asked, so if it has been sorry. On my Wolves In Wolves Clothing, I put it on the side with the A-side label, but it's the B-side songs and vice versa. Even the etchings are opposite for each side. I'm guessing everyone else's was like this too but was it like that on the original press? Thanks. Edit: Also, the guitar sounds completely awful in "Benny Got Blowed Up" and "Leaving Jesusland" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 it was like that on the original press too i heard someone say that their boxset is normal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratbrain Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 found a black version of this today for $200 ppd... then I read through this thread and started regretting the purchase did anyone get a box with all the releases in good condition? or should i be expecting at least one or two warped records?

GradedOnACurve Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Black version should be fine. ratbrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperg1ant Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Sorry for the bump, but some colored copies of individual titles of the box set have appeared on ebay (maybe some deadstock?), some guy had copies of Pump Up The Valuum (epitaph box set) a few hours ago. Or it's some Hottopic deadstock? who knows. SOLD OUT / Also, not a bad price on Punk in Drublic here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/Vinyl-Records/176985/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=rzzlblstr Edited July 21, 2021 by hyperg1ant Sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
