In Reply to: RE: Music Matters 33 1/3 Blue Notes - Horrible posted by erik on July 31, 2015 at 11:56:07
Had the same problem in the glorious day of Classic Records with Acoustic Sounds. And I live overseas. I ended up selling the record (obviously making the defect known to the buyer) at a discount rather than pay for shipping back.
In this day and age I find something puzzling: nobody's figured out a way to press a record without it being off-center?
No reason to lose any sleep over it though.

I would guess that it is a function of the age of the presses in use. CNC code makes it incredibly easy to find exact centers but retrofitting all the ancient presses in use would, I assume, be prohibitively expensive, is even possible.

You're probably right. But if we're asked to pay up to $50 or $60 for a record, we should get zero default.I personally haven't been too unlucky in that respect. All my Music Matters are fine. But still, these problems exist and shouldn't. Or if manufacturers are using old machines a thousand times recouped and with quality issues, we shouldn't be charged $50.

Complex processes fail, it's a rule of nature. To expect 100% QC is unrealistic and would lead to prohibitively expensive products. That said if they were to charge $1 or $2 to hand select them I might pay that as a premium. I have sent back one record in the last 5 years for a defective pressing, very mildly warped records I keep.
