I’ve got Bluesnik on a TDK SA C90 that i recorded
Cheers, just got it. Not happy about it though. Agree, these should be £20. I’m being very selective now. Trouble is there’s a load of good one’s just out or coming up.Down to just over £25 on Amazon now, so I’ve taken a punt. I know I need this one and whilst I really only want to pay £20 for a Classic I can’t wait around forever!
My copies of San Francisco and Bluesnik arrived this w/e. Both seem pretty perfect on first play.
Its seems I got lucky ... or maybe I need a better turntable so I can detect the faults?
Just cleaned and playing my copy now. Very poorly edge-trimmed, lots of flashing which peeled off easy enough and thankfully hadn’t migrated in the sleeve or marked the surface at all. It is nice and flat, though there was a little stitching/infill noise track one side one, just a couple of single instances on the left channel. Side two is fine, so sounds like they are not all the same. Mine is certainly not bad enough to return, just a couple of noises on the first track that could be mistaken for mistracking.
It's all a bit odd. DOL/Doxy/Waxtime/etc are able to flood the shops with pirated vinyl but Universal are limiting supply to a few hundred copies because they can't get enough pressed?
