Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

I'm trying to decide what to do about this one. I listened to it when it arrived and it was seemed fine but I asked for a replacement jacket right away because it wasn't glued well and was coming a part (which I received). Then I saw people talking about the noise issue and went back to listen. I've got the noise issue, but it isn't horrible. It's there, but not as bad as my Mars Volta issue. We're paying A LOT of these records at this point, so if they're gonna repress it, I want that repress. If not, I could live with the copy I have. Maybe I'll put in a request this afternoon.

I went back and forth for a bit as well. I only listen to records with headphones at the moment and the noise makes it unenjoyable to listen to. I put in a ticket and heard back a couple days later that they were sending a replacement. Then nothing for a week and emailed again and they said there looking into it still. Been another week now. Not a big deal I just hope this months releases go smoother. I just subscribed for The Mars Volta after thinking about it for years and I’m hoping this is just a bad couple of months. I would put in a request if your record has the noise issue. Like you said we pay a lot so I don’t think you should have to just live with it.

I hope the album that never had a proper pressing is going to be the D.I.T.C. album from 2000 - I once bought an overpriced promo copy that is barely listenable and I would highly appreciate a "proper pressing".

Your copy's got a lot of sibilance on Side C (i think it was)? I got an OG earlier this year but only sampled a little to hear how it was. I haven't given it a proper spin yet so i'm not sure how widespread it is. It also seemed a little louder compared to most records, almost like a 12 inch maxi single from the 90's.

I think the odds are obviously pretty high. I'll go Side 1 right off the top, whooshing for WU. And for PE let's say really bad end of side crackle on 3 and 4, for like 1 minute each. BOOK IT

They are bound to get one right eventually just by the law of averages. Also, after two fuck ups in a row you hope that the if there is someone in charge of QC, they have been replaced by now, right?
 
I've asked this too many times already, but does anyone want to trade one of my bad (but very listenable) Mars Voltas for a bad ATLiens?
 
Clue #1: HH: One of these albums has never been properly released on vinyl. Another has never been reissued. The other has never been on 2LP.

Clue #2: HH: 00, 06, 98

If we assume the order is the same for each clue, we have:

A 2000 LP that has never been “properly” released on vinyl

A 2006 LP that has never been reissues

A 1998 release that has never been issues on a 2xLP

I am intrigued.
