No idea how, when, why but my copy of Mala - Hunter, the intro has a scratch and a skip.

Fucking horrific.

my copy of kromestar - serial killers came warped, so the only good (but it is fucking good) tune skips when you cue it.

i find this is a problem more with hip hop and reggae vinyl, most of the dubstep i've got has been pressed well.
gotta watch out for the old LPs and 7"s.
i swear 60% of all the stones throw hip hop records i've bought came warped, its a fucking disgrace.

My original of '93 til Infinity by the souls of mischief got a 5 inch long, inch wide scratch in it. It was four years ago and I was drunk and pissed off. But nowhere near as pissed off as I am every time I see it now. Sore lesson learned there

managed to crack an inch-wide chunk out of my copy of Moving Snares, looks like it was munched by a terrier or something. Bah.

i'd just been to Rooted, sun was out so I walked down to the waterfront to have a pint with a mate. Chucked my manbag and hoodie to the floor but accidentally let go of the Rooted bag as well - it landed flat on the cobbles and Disfigured001 took the brunt of the emergency landing.

All my records could do with a clean but apart from that they arent doing too badly. My copy of Stakes Is High by De La Soul has seen better days though, it wasnt in a good state when I bought it

this is old school -- but i've gotta talk about it.

My copy of Cajmere - Brighter Days has a skip. It sounds like fried chicken when i play it too.

Not good.

I'm not sure if it would be worth buying again. I have the track on CD and mp3. I also have a fuck load of hip hop vinyls but I only really DJ dubstep now so it wouldnt make sence replacing them. Cheers for the info though

I need to devise a method of putting them back in the sleeve!

How hard can it be.... Hmmm

I fixed a skip with a magnifying glass and razor blade once.

It was Hang Up on Klute's Total Self.

It left an audible pop but the record was playable.
