Warped record

return/exchange it.

I just received Crime Of The Century LP through Amazon, mastered for vinyl and cut by Ray Staff at Air Studios,180gr. Not only lots of loud pops and cracks, no visible scratches, but remastering is simply pitiful. Sound level lower by 5dB, yes I measured, flat sound stage, no dynamics. All this comparing to the pressing from eighties. It was supposed to be a gift. Return label printed, dropping it off tomorrow.

I would return it without hesitation.  I am fed up with sellers shipping people open, defective, subpar, used or bad products, such as in your case.  They count on people keeping them to avoid the inconvenience of having to send it back.

Don't let them get away with it!!! 😡😊

Amazon returns are easy.  No need to box them.  Just print scan code and drop off at a UPS store (the inconvenient part).
