[DECENDINGS RECORDS]

few days back was havin a mix and my goth trad (the clown) and then i went to drop the beat my needle draged away anti clockwise to wat the vinyl is spinning ,
only just brought that vinyl dunno why it is happening cause other vinyl does work with that deck.

PLEASE DONT TELL ME I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER 1210

could be a bad press...look at the grooves on it up close or with a magnifier and see if they're running together. also make sure your cartridges are set to the correct weight. not sure what you mean about dragging anti-clockwise. it's either going to go towards the center or out from the center...i have a few odd records that were cut to be played from the center out. also make sure it's not a one sided vinyl and that you aren't playing it on the side with no grooves...

bad press, dirty needle or dirt on the record could do this.

No record is too heavy that I know of.

This^

I got loads of oldskool Techno where they tried to get smart with this. I got a record that has two tunes on each side. Each track starts from a different position lol. One starts normally and the next track starts from the inside, so confusing!

I actually found a hidden track the other day too! there are two tracks on the same groove! for 5 years I have been playing the same one from the start. By mistake I put the needle in the wrong place and found another track hahaha
