As Doug mentioned, Classics/RTI vinyl issue is well documented, Ive bought and returned Kralls LP 2X...as well as one Norah Jones..It cd for me with any Classics recordings unfortunately.

I recently bought three new Classic pressings, all 200g titles: Norah Jones; Diana Krall; and Tull's Aqualung. All were defective. In examining the vinyl I noticed a threadlike discoloration which was literally stitched into the vinyl. When the stylus runs over this, both channels distort rendering the passage unlistenable. Clearly, Classic is not using virgin vinyl and some form of foreign matter is being added. Dare I consider this might be the labels from old LPs recycled? Anyone else notice this or have similar experience?
