complain... I returned my first copy of SAWII and checked over the replacement for obvious flaws - and the result was an improved but still somewhat rough copy. I taped it, so haven't played it much, so can't comment on deterioration, but I have since purchased the CD set (albeit missing one track) for top quality listening. Of the earlier coloured vinyls, I think they are generally better, though every copy of Incunabula I came across on grey ("silver") vinyl was pressed extremely off-centre, while the black ones were acceptable. Also, pressings of RH Kirk's album (all on Black Vinyl AFAIK) were appalling, as g303 knows! Problem is not restricted to WARP however. My Novamute picture disc pressing of Plastikman's "Sheet One" is dreadfully crackly, and always has been. J ^ James Skilton aka Steady J - jamess@firefox.co.uk ^---+ What's in the basket? My Brother!
