When do you return new vinyl?


I have a question for everyone. At what point do you guys return new vinyl? If it isn't pristine; or do you tolerate a couple imperfections?

Just trying to gauge whether I'm nit-picking for sending back albums for a couple imperfections.

It depends what I paid. If I paid $50 for a multi-disc, 45 rpm pressing and it's got any repeated pop or imperfection more than a pop or two, I'll send it back. If the level of the pops a low, I'd put up with several, but if there are one or two load pops or major cruve imperfections or out of center or warping, I'll send it back.

OTOH, if it's a new popular music release that I paid say 16-bucks for, then I'll expect a few pops and less than pristine surfaces, but won't keep it if it's warped significantly.

I must say that I've had very few bad experiences lately.

Yeah, I agree, if I don't hear a warp, then I'll keep it. I almost never resale, so cosmetic issues don't bother me.
