Bad vinyl

I recently bought 3 albums and each one had to return due to bad pressings, Dizzy, Diana Krall and Bowie. I was so disappointed, 3 out of 3 were bad, really bad. The store didn't have other copies so I bought Jeff Beck and Nora Jones new albums and they sound perfect, btw, not bad work either.

That at is a 60% return ratio. Anyone else experiencing the same?

sorry... also returned two copies of a Janis Joplin "Pearl" repress that had more ticks and pops than my original copy! Gave up on that one.

i have the same experience and frustration... recently back into analog and bought a lot of records ... from all the major vendors - soundstage direct, elusive, musicdirect, etc. i would say 1 of 3 titles is defective... skips, big pops, warps, distortion, ugh.... spend $30 bucks for an album and they are still not properly made and qc’ed!  the 180 gram titles seem to be the worst,,,
