Your pet peevees about records

[Bleak Existence]

Coloured vinyl for no reason.

Coloured vinyls 'cos they wrap.

That I can't find a fucking vinyl copy of Diamond Head "Lighting to the Nations" but you can buy every dumb reissue under the sun. Like with all these reissues why not reissue something crucial?

clicks, scratches, hiss, expense as per cd's.,
cheap euro pressing vs bespoke uk ones.
the worse sound of coloured or pic disks.
their shortness as compared to cd's when sitting down (a purely lazy observation)
blah blah, blah.
will still buy vynil whatever the drawbacks.

- Picture discs and lathe cuts (both objectively sound terrible, and serve no purpose other than as an object d'art to hang on your wall). Kind of a bummer to have to re-purchase an album just to get a decent-sounding copy.

- Taking the same master used to create the CD, making little or no changes, not altering the track order for density, and then just slapping it onto vinyl. Lost count of how many records I purchased that clearly sound worse than the CD because of this.

- For older albums: Not breaking out the original master tapes for a remaster. Unless they specifically state otherwise, you can bet your arse they just used the CD.

I assumed "for a reasonable price" was implied yet here we are....

The Vetala/Mons Veneris split 12" has so small middle hole in it that when i try to fucking lift it, the whole vinyl bends. I have no idea how to get it out now that I have listened to one side without breaking or bending it too much. For fucks sake.

Thanks Altare Productions for this! Before anyone says anything, you should be able to see that the other side of the vinyl is of the slipmat so it isnt leaning against it or anything or i am not otherwise deliberaly bending it. The center hole is just so fucking small on it. As you can imagine, now the lp is lopsided but at least its listenable.

The mons veneris side slays though.

[holy ghost]

Ugh when the middle hole is too small, very obnoxious! I also constantly loose that thing for "large hole" 45s, like come on!!! Why are you still making these?!?!

why did you force it in the first place?
any vinyl that seems to snug gets a shave from me.

well, yes, but why try and force it and not accept its' tightness and seek to remedy-this has been my standard practice for years, as some pressing are too small for the turntable spindle

[impulse manslaughter]

I use a pair of scissors to make the hole a bit larger. Push the scissors in and twist/turn to scrape off a thin layer of vinyl..

hasnt happened in past so i thought it wouldnt happen this time either. guess lesson learned.

Unfair perhaps but I see a few people here who would be - to paraphrase Henry Rollins - far too easy to kill in an Urban Environment. Some urgent toughening up and reprioritising of priorities are in order. This genre is for killers, not damsels in distress because "the hole is too small".
