Max Kane Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 :evil: Gutted, my copy of Johan Gielen 'Physical Overdrive' is nackered! The vinyl itself isn't completely flat, which to be fair isn't all that irregular, it proves a bugger to cue up as it skips a lot and the needle will jump easily, usually after a few weeks on the pile it'll flatten out and be ok However this copy is totally screwed whenever it plays the section of the vinyl that isn't flat it slows down to the point where it's so bloody obvious the vocals sound like i've physically put my finger on the vinyl. Means i must send it back to chemical ( :x ) and wait for another copy to be sent, making the tune unavailable for sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 A reason why I'm leaning more to downloading, the bother of buying a record online, having probs with it and then having to send it back and wait for another copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I've thrown dictionaries and Guinness Book of Records on top of warped vinyl on a hard surface and if you're patient it does flatten out, particularly if the room changes temperature (which is NOT ideal for the rest of your records).

bigsteve Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah, I've flatten a few out like that too! Works a treat :thumbsup: I'm sure vinyls are getting thinner as well. If I look through at the older ones, they're much thicker than the more recent ones :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I prefer the chunky, heavy vinyl and not the flimsy ones too Steve! Going back to Tom's problem of it sounding like it's slowing down, anyone with half a musical ear will hear that so definitely worth changing Might just be a bad pressing though - my copy of P.O.S. Gravity is absolutely flat, and the A side is fine but the remix on the other sounds like the pitch wavers constantly - very annoying so I went and bought the mp3 of that mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I don't like warped records, when it's playing you can't help but feel that half the vinyl is being worn out 1000 times faster than the other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 It's going back for sure, the vinly is very very thin aswell which i hate they seem to skip miles out of position with even the slightest touch, the old ID&T vinyls were the best chunky as ... well ya get the picture, sometimes would have to forcefully shove it to get it moving, much much better that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
