Supercorsa Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Just a quick question concerning The Belles - Don't Pretend - Mirwood, has this got a common pressing fault? A couple of years or so ago I bought a copy of this off ebay for a little over £20. Anyway it was visually graded as near mint and to be honest I agree with that. As I'm sure most of you would if you were to see it. Anyway I digress, for the 1st 40 seconds it has an annoying background noise/distortion going on, then bam, loud and clear!? I've tried cleaning it and makes no difference, just bugs me that's all, so I got to wondering if it was a pressing fault. So again, has anyone else had a copy with this problem?

Prophonics 2029 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Is it a styrene record, only frooked one like that so never did it again.
Millo Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I had something similarwhen trying out the last record that I bought. It was visually a mint copy supposed to be store stock but I cleaned it anyway and it was no different. Checked the tone arm to see if it was balanced an somehow it had got moved and I was trying to play at .75 gram. Dont know how the counter balance moves but it seems to from time to time. It played ok after that, luckily..
Supercorsa Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 Must be a bad copy mines beautiful. Mark Wanna swap? Luck of the draw I suppose, still the other side plays ok, just have to do until I can get a better one.
Col Wolfe Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 the UK President issue is a decent option - cheaper, nicely cut and the vinyl is close to bomb-proof
