I've had the same prob. with some of the Coltrane 180 gr re-issues on Impulse.. not sure why, what with the heavier vinyl and all. Yeah I just play 'em, my setup tracks 'em fine, but that record warp is NOT good for my speakers and I have to watch the driver excusion and volume.
New LP's and Warping
I know its a reality of the format. Vinyl can and does warp. I have plenty of records that have warps, they play fine. I've been noticing lately though, that a more prevalent amount of new vinyl is lip-warped. This never bothers me when its a limited pressing of an indie record that maybe sat in a distro for years, it'll play, I'm just happy to have found it.
My complaint is when I spend 15 bucks on a new pressing of Coltrane-Coltrane on Impulse Records and its severely warped. Its annoying, and frustrating. This is actually the first time I've asked a store to return it. They made it right, but probably only because I'm a repeat customer.
So, how do you guys approach this? Do you consider it a "cost-of-war" type thing where you just accept it, or are there some release when you fight for that glass-flat copy?
