Absolutely amazing sounding records.WookSlayer, 2024
When several owners independently describe the same issue (warps, skips, distortion, a dull or harsh sound, or noise on a modern pressing), it's listed here with their words.
Side 2 was kind of noisy even after multiple cleanings.troberts64, 2026 Open →
Sides 2 and 3 had numerous pops out of the box that an ultrasonic cleaning cut way back.wpenhall, 2026 Open →
The odd pop perhaps, but barely noticeable.AcemanSmith, 2026 Open →
A rarity trap is a pressing people chase because it's hard to find, not because it's better: wanted at least 1.2× more than it's owned, with no notable credits and no owner praise.
None of the 22 pressings checked is wanted mainly for its scarcity.
Sorted by pedigree. Pedigree comes from the credits: cutting engineer, mastering, pressing plant and label. Owners counts the written reviews that talk about the pressing, and what they mention. Want/have above 1.2× means real scarcity.
