Needle gets stuck on the brand new 7"


Hello

I bought a brand new 7" record. Record does not seem to have any visible damage. Somehow needle gets stuck on same exact place on second track of side A.  Strangest thing is that after needle got stuck i played the second track again and it played just fine. Then i tried to play that song few hours after that and the needle got stuck again, but on the second attempt right after the first one it played fine again. Might some vinyl expert here know why this happens? I am pretty sure that problem is the record and not my player since all other records seem to play just fine.

Thanks for the answers. I contacted the seller he promised to send a new one. I tried to different tracking force and anti-skating settings but it did not help. I remember that i got this kind of problem maybe once or twice before with a brand new record.  Maybe it is just a coincidence but it has always been a 7" record. I have never had problem with 12" records. 
I meant that needle gets stuck in the same part of the record and plays the same loop again and again.
