returning vinyl for warpage?

You don't say where you purchased them. But if they came packaged together maybe they were poorly packed and that caused the warp. Also maybe they have a record flattner that so many of the record stores sell.

Yes, you should return them! Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds are not always happy to take them back but they will if you insist; don't be afraid to insist, it's your money!

Kurt,

The vinyl of TCV is quite good - I don't own the CD but it is interesting to note that the free MP3 download card included with the LP proudly proclaims that the high bit rate transfer is derived from the vinyl master.

I like the LP's sonics - it's a big sounding crunchy hard rock LP, with a very good low end, and decent transparency for a contemporary recording of the genre. My pressing is flawless.

Kurt,

The LP is much better, at least to me it is. I had the cd for about a month before going out and getting the album.

It's actually the 2nd copy. The first copy was warped as well and I returned it. I bought the Beatles on that return trip. Now that this one is warped as well as the Beatles one... started making me doubt if I should return them again. I found last night that there is a spot in track one that won't track / skips so it's going back again for sure.

The Beatles I am not sure about, it was the last copy and was $50.00. I have found it elsewhere ( on line ) but they want 70 bucks for it.

All of this was from School kids in Raleigh NC. Like I said though, I have purchased 30 or so LPs from them and all of them have been great. I don't want to put a hurting on one of the only places I can get LPs locally, it's about the only new Vinyl store in business around here. I went there when I was a kid... and that was a LONG time ago LOL...
