Warped LP's


Hey,

So, are some pressings just warped from factory?

I had purchased Springsteen’s Letter to You from Amazon (double LP) and the first LP has a very visible warp/wobble to it, although it sounded fine.

But didn’t like that and so exchanged it for another and this one also seems to have a bit of a wobble to it although not as bad as the first one (same side).

Since it seems to sound ok, I will probably just stick with it.

Amazon packing seems pretty secure and safe so I don’t think it is on them although who knows how they are kept at their warehouse.

But wanted to inquire if this happens time to time.

Thnx

With the additional plinth area that @viridian described, there is more chance for resonance IMO

For those with “3 sided LPs”

How do you get a 3 sided LP into its jacket?

Short answer, yes it has happened to me a number of times that when I return a warped album I receive another one in its place. Bad pressing must be the answer.
