Just wondering if anyone else got a bad pressing of the Who's album from Best Buy...like mine that has side 2 pressed on both sides of Record 1. Wonder how many went out like that. I've counted 3 from my store in San Diego.

Think it might increase its value? :scratch2:

That's pretty sad, I guess quality controll is a thing of the past. :no:

Probably a subversive plot by the RIAA to crush this renegade vinyl movement! Those crazy kids must be stopped! No fun of any kind!

Eureka! Went to another Best Buy and bought another copy. I made sure that when I got to my car I opened the record and all 4 sides are there!!! Yippie!!! Hmmmm I wonder if the subversive plot is just in my neighborhood...LOL...Overall I'm quite pleased!!!

Didn't they ask you if you wanted an extended warranty?

Sound quality???

Just wondering how many members here have purchased and listened. I plan on running by BB tonight and picking up a copy but was curious.

Thanks,

B

Got mine tonight. They only had one in the store. The young guy at the checkout was surprised that they even carried vinyl. I asked if he had ever heard and viyl and he said he had w/ some hestitaion. Not sure I believed him.

Now I just need to listen but no misprints, double sided same tracks or warps. Curious as to what the sound quality will be although hoping they did a decent pressing.

Sound quality is actually good. Side 1 sounds like it's in Mono and the other three sides are Stereo. The live tracks for me are just ok.....but I just love hearing "I Can't Explain" on vinyl!!!
