Heavy Vinyl

Thanks for all the replies. I think, maybe I have a different definition of warped because its a very exceptional record that is truly flat in the first place.

Picking up on something else in the discussion, I don't buy much new vinyl because I'm not interested in anything sourced from a digital file (which is pretty much everything contemporary) but such recent vinyl as I have bought has been disappointing in terms of the quality of the vinyl and associated noise. This is even after ultrasonic cleaning, so it's intrinsic to the vinyl stock itself.

@tablejockey - 'Second Winter' was on 2 LP's - one side of one LP was blank. 

There are a number of record companies that still produce all analog pressings from the original tapes. Analog Productions is one of them and I have found everything that I have purchased from them to be of very high quality with excellent SQ. With that said even with MoFi having a digital step in their process most of what I have purchased from them is also excellent. That goes for a number of other manufacturers also.

My comment on 45 RPM records is that while the SQ can be exceptional based on who manufactured it I prefer a well made 33 RPM version. Having to get up every 10 minutes to flip the record can sometimes kill my enjoyment.

@relayer101 - I agree, Analog Productions work is excellent.

My comment about not buying much new vinyl relates to new releases of new music rather than reissued material. I've more existing vinyl than I can practically get around to listening to while keeping up with new releases in recorded on digital.

Honestly I couldn't imagine reinterpreting John Fahey's work  , but the musicians who tackled his genius come away sounding like geniuses themselves .

Nobody has mentioned the 45rpm 4 lp single sided releases by Classic Records , I have one , David Crosby's " If I could Only Remember My Name " , yes it sounds more dynamic but why the single side .
