I got a warped one too, though it sounds good. And, the label on the B side wasn't done correctly and has air bubbles all over it. I'm just going to let it sit under a stack of records for a day or two and see if I can at least fix the warp.
Unfortunately it's not possible to fix a warp with just pressure; it requires heat and pressure. The new 180 gram records are to blame for the high percentage of new warped records. I don't ever recall buying a warped record back in the old days. Not once.
I bought plenty of warped/flawed pressings back in the day. Pretty much why I stopped buying LOs once I got a CD player.
Huh? Warped records existed in plenty back in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. If anything, the speed and volume at which LPs used to be made contributed to both warped and noisy records. Back in the old days, one third to one half of the records I bought were defective. Now it's one tenth.
You've got to be kidding. I worked in a record store back in the day and if we sold the noisy junk that gets passed off as quality today it would have all come back.
I picked up beggars banquet for $12.38. Sounds wonderful. Its my third of these ABKCO reissues after the sam cooke 2LP and thru the past darkly, all have been A+ values. Beggars Banquet [Vinyl] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DJYOX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YCoMzbXFMG05D

Thanks, ordered. Since its two weeks from release I did no rush shipping for the digital credit. A no harm experiment in how close to release date I receive a pre order. The credit will be nice for a PPV viewing or Kindle purchase.
