Sinister: vine-ill (list abuse!)

[adam apparatus]

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..
