"It's a small wonder if there is a perfectly flawless record at all."
Philips, for one, used to turn them out by the millions.

But there were still some duds.
No, 30 years ago and even less.
There were duds in performance and in the audio, but I cannot recall (and do not have) pressing duds. And that goes for their Mercury Golden Imports as well.
Do you know who printed those in Holland? ( I recall they were usually Dutch pressing )
IIRC Philips did it's own manufacturing.That is, except for the few Philips recordings that were recorded in Europe by Mercury, and mastered, engraved, and pressed by Mercury in the US. These were a bit problematic.

or perhaps I have bad ones.
This might be the US Mercury pressing for Philips. Speakers Corner reissue easily beats it.
Absolutely beautiful looking records, and proof you don't need 2 tons of vinyl in there.
...I always prefer the bog standard version.
