I totally avoid United Record Pressing. If I were a betting man I'd suspect that's where your LP was pressed. Take a look and let us know. Non-fill vinyl areas, fingerprints, wavy, etc...
New vinyl quality....
Recently I have purchased quite a bit of new vinyl. I am shocked at the poor quality control and inconsistency that I am getting. Anyone else?
Chris Stapleton Traveller 2LP: LP1 is flawless. LP2 is so beyond warped and is not even close to round!! Oh, and this is after I returned the 1st copy as there was an audible flaw through most of the first 2 songs of disc 2, side 1. Wish I had that copy back!
Stones' new release, Honk: LP1 is so bad the center is damaged and won't even fit over the spindle! Additionally, there are visual marks all over it - looks like smudges. LP2 is fine.
I am seeing this a lot. Probably 30-40% of the new (sealed) vinyl I'm buying has some kind of an issue. Not even talking about SQ here - it's physical issues that I am seeing.
What are you all experiencing?

@denjer That’s the distributor. I just looked it up on Discogs. Yep, United Record Pressing and tons of comments about how poor the vinyl is.
