Bjork coloured vinyl reissue fault!

Hi all

I recently took the plunge and ordered the complete reissues, and recieved 3 of the 7 this morning. After reading reading several threads regarding the packaging quality, I was happily surprised in that it was better than some of the quotes describing it as flimsy, I'm fine with the overall package.

The first album I opened was Medulla, I was then greeted with this,



The black streak is the whole way through the pressing, when held up to the light. I've been in contact with the supplier and a replacement is going to be sent out. Thankfully all the other pressing are ok.

Is it audible? Looks like it is well below the grooves and is probably only a stray bit of ink. If so, then I wouldn`t see any reason to warrant a replacement imo.

 

To each their own but I would keep that too (as long as it sounds fine)

 

That thing is not audible, more like an annoyance visually.

 

You want to return it because theres a black streak in it?
Is that your first piece of colored vinyl? That happens all the time.

 

Could be resold for $$$$$ in 10 years as "rare black streak pressing". I would definitely keep any colour variation that's embedded in the wax and doesn't sound.

 

That's not a fault!!!

If you are going to return a record for that I suggest you stick to black vinyl.....or cd's!

 

I agree, would keep this for sure. I love that it's different and I'd bet it's not audible.

 

In my experience, colored vinyl without some sort of streaks or marbling is the exception rather than the rule.

 

That's very common. A single black PVC pellet got into the extruder. It's all vinyl... just like the fancy swirls and whatnot. It is not a "fault" as your thread title suggests.

Also, there's already a thread about the Bjork colored vinyl reissues. You should have just posted there:
