Outside of VMP, I have a little game where I hear that static and then I go on Discogs to see who pressed it. So far I'm 2/2 identifying that GZ static before I even look. 4eva is a Long Time and Hurry Up We're Dreaming.

Aw crap. My record came today and the jacket had a nice bend at the bottom corner. Actual records looked pretty flat so just emailed about the jacket and very quickly got a replacement jacket order entered.
Now coming here I apparently should have listened to the record first. Hoping it's magically clean so I don't have to do an updated request

Are they sending just the jacket? In the past they'd send the entire thing. One time my Classics was just missing the booklet and I got a full replacement even though I told them the rest of the packaging was superb. I guess it was just easier than breaking stuff up.
Yeah they said they are sending just the jacket and the order form in my email says Jacket only
I'm listening now to close out my work day. I haven't noticed anything on side A thus far (thought I won't pretend to have a high end set up or anything either)

You'd hear what mine has right away... It's loud and starts in before the music even begins.Yeah they said they are sending just the jacket and the order form in my email says Jacket only

I had the issue with Wu and OutKast so I'm assuming I would know as well. My copy is relatively flat and sounds pretty damn good so I'm happy. Hopefully it's just a small quantity issue that you had...

I actually got a clean copy of 6ft! It's been a long while since I got a clean pressing of a VMP album that put a smile on my face like this did. The colorway is so pretty too. Empathy to those who have to do the usual CS grind, but man I'm excited I landed a clean copy on the first try.

On the positive side, you have 3 copies coming and you can keep the hopefully clean copy among them and worry about the CS replacements for your friends. Give them a true VMP experience.

Nah, @Mather ‘s Canadianishness requires him to make sure his friends are properly taken care of before he can take care of himself.
If mine is good and theirs are bad I am legally required to run mine over with a car so that they don't feel bad. It's in our Charter of Rights.

Just remember all that digital processing in your chain means you might as well be playing nothing but run over records!

Both of my Gravediggaz LPs are pristine with no right channel crackle or any other issues. I am a happy customer this month

Lots of crackle on my Gravediggaz sides C and D. I'll try to do more cleaning before I fire off an email to CS. Ahhh VMP... good to be back in the fold.

On today's episode of Open Mike Eagle's podcast, Secret Skin, Dave Ma said that he's working on the liner notes for The Coup - Genocide & Juice for VMP. 
*Highly recommend the episode if you are a fan of Open Mike Eagle's album Dark Comedy, it's a deep dive on the album.

Fully expected to be disappointed by Gravediggaz (especially since I spun Bright Eyes earlier today and it did have the faintest of GZ crackle).
It's clean, and it's phenomenal. Definitely in my top 3 RHH albums VMP has put out.
I'd say the issue is not widespread, put in for those replacement copies until you get a clean one.
