regular vinyl pressings

I didn't say that I don't like US pressings. It's just my collection basically consists of european rock such as 10CC, Marillion, Can, Van Der Graaf... and they were definitely recorded and pressed first in Europe. The pressing weight very often isn't an issue when you have an advanced turntable setup on one side and when you store them properly on the other side. I listen to a french music a lot and love it so I guess there is no way I can avoid canadian 70g vinyls since lots of french stuff pressed in Canada.

Its probably more than 70 Grams but hey Canadian pressings are very flimsy.

Just enjoy the music...

Again, that's why I use a modded Technics 1200. It's music friendly.

The labels you are looking for will largely be determined by the type of music or specific artist you are looking for. (i.e.- Don't look for an ECM pressing of Boston or any other rock artists.) Alot of the smaller record companies do a better job of pressing, while the larger companies crank it out too fast, athough there are lots of exceptions in both cases. Check album reviews and ask around about specific albums.

As suggested above, you could also get a table in which you can't discern a good pressing from bad, in which case, your problem is solved.....

BTW- I have alot of import/european rock I'd like to sell. If you're interested, let me know.
