Needles & Grooves

I’d very much like to tell all pressing plants to go fuck themselves, some are better but they all have fucked me multiple times with warps.

This is the 8 zillionth time GZ has screwed me. This time it's Spiritualized, horrible distortion across the last half of Side A. I'm just so sick of all of this.

I Have learned that unfortunately it’s part of buying records but that doesn’t make it ok. Ironically I had some of the best luck with GZ stuff as far as sound quality, warps have been prolific from everyone to include Pallas, RTI, and QRP.

i am so lucky

Yeah I bought a flattener just to deal with the warps so at least I don't have to worry about those anymore, although it still pisses me off when I see them.

Maybe GZ (or all pressing plants, for that matter) also own a stake in the flattener? Double dippin' at a genius level.

This is the only thing I believe in now.

Yes, @Mather, there is an evil Vinyl Claus.

I don’t think I would buy new records if it wasn’t for the vinyl flat, I’d say 8 out of ten new records get flattened

I've got the Furutech, it's my baby.

@Dylanfan253 it seems more likely it’s a warehousing or shipping condition issue than a pressing plant issue.

Noooo... I want this Spiritualized to be perfect!

@dbarila @Ethos99 had the same issue unfortunately. BUT at least replacements shouldn't really be an issue with this one. It sounded good prior to the issues, if that's worth anything.
