Bought my first new audiophile LP...back it goes

I opened my 200g pressing of Neil Young's "Prairie Wind" today. Had my Audio Intelligent cleaner all ready to go. Slipped the first licorice disc out of it's poly record sleeve...and it had three 3"x1/2" stains of some kind. I gently tried to clean them off using AI step 1 and AI step 2 and a soft cotton cloth, but to no avail. One other side was stained, too. So, back it goes to Elusive Disc. For $40 I expect the vinyl to be pristine and absolutely free of defects or stains. Is this common with new audiophile vinyl? What a hassle... Tvad  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 02-17-07

I've bought some of the Speaker's Corners and Sundazed and been quite happy (well, as happy as you can be spending that kind of money for a record), but generally, I'd just rather buy used for considerably less money and take my chances if it's older music. Even at $10 each, you can buy 4 records to get one decent pressing which will probably be better than the re-issue anyway. Obviously, no way to buy older versions of new music, though, which is your situation here.
