ok, i know i've been posting quite a lot, but then again sinister's been a little quiet... anyway. i got the new dirty three album on vinyl... very good, by the way, a new highwater mark for them (but then again, each new release for them is better than the last) . i ordered it from insound (one of the most wonderful stores in the world... www.insound.com .) also, it's a limited edition colored vinyl... which i didn't expect! finally, this is my very first vinyl purchase -- i recently decided to start buying in vinyl, but i don't know much about it. here's my problem: when i put the record on the turntable, and start it going, there's one area on the edge that goes up a little... like the record's warped. i thought it was the turntable, but it doesn't have this problem with other records. this is my dad's turntable, so he set the weight on the needle, but the d3 record skips at that spot unless i turn up the weight, which i'd rather not do, of course. (this only happens at the beginning of the first song; after the first song, i turn the weight down again.) a friend of mine said "that's just the way records are", but i have 20 year old records that don't have this problem! i would contact insound, but i don't want to be a pain.. so i thought i'd be a pain here. any vinyl-crazy sinistrals able to answer my question? is this a standard record thing, or should i complain and ask for a replacement? it worries me a little... oh yes, and buy the new dirty three, everyone! it's called "whatever you love you are", and has some gorgeous editing... three warrens isn't enough, as far as i'm concerned... anyway, thanks for suffering through.. - adam aconover@optonline.net Tempus Fugit is at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~conover/tempus/main.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
