    Skipping renders "I Can Change" completely unlistenable. . . .

      got my copy it sounds pretty good, no skipping although it did ship with the corner bent a little.
      • noahthesilly1234's avatar
        sound quality is fine but oh my god does it skip on one touc. nearly every 5 seconds it skips and there are no scratches or at least any deep ones. i have cleaned it numerous times too. very disappointing

          My copy sounds amazing and dynamic. Clean copy after a little brush stroke.

            Wish I had come here before purchasing this new and sealed for $40 from a store in Phoenix, AZ. Scratches all over the discs, some deep. Emailed DFA and they pointed me back to the store. When I've received bad pressings in the past, labels have always been receptive to making it right.

              Was worried while reading the varied reviews, mine ended up alright. Mastering is fantastic, vinyl is quiet, though there are some pressing flaws. A few loud pops, one disc off centered, tight spindle holes.

              But everything else sounds so good I don't really care.

                I love this album... I'm pretty disappointed with the pressing. For me, specifically, the issue is skipping on "I Can Change." I didn't experience the noise other reviewers have mentioned but I cannot recommend this pressing.

                  This sounds awesome. Was going through my record collection and listening to records I purchased a while ago and this one was a hidden gem. I didn't have any L channel crackle on the first track like others have reported.

                    I feel like some of the reviewers didn't want til the first track got louder lol. There is some hiss, but it doesn't take away from the record, which sounds awesome. Just got my copy from Amazon and after one listen through I thought "wow I would've regretted not getting this" (even though I never would've known how it sounded yadda yadda. Nevermind the logic. This thing is great! Best LCD imo!)
