you had the same problem with different needles/setups?

don't think the center hole's too big - their quality dubs outta transition and it just happens with too many dubs - a too big coincidence.

you always get your dubs cut from the same spot? or is it different dubs from different cutting houses?

edit: just saw they are all from transition.

If its its your own music that you're getting cut, do you think it has anything to do with the way your tunes start? Or something like that? (I know a few people that use transition and have never had problems with cuts there)

Shure Whitelabels are fairly prone to skipping on their own already. maybe factor that in.

got a whitelabel and never noticed it's skipping more than other systems.

...only when cueing.

I got a beautiful 7" Alter Echo & E3 "Nubian Dub some months ago from Zam Zam Sounds, it's a pity the poor press, the sound is too bad, low volume and low quality, i couldn't play it on a nice sound system cause the poor quality, when i tried first time i was shock.

Mine sounds a bit low but it's not that bad. Zam Zam pressings are usually on point.

same here, no trouble with that one.

my ex bought me a copy of Joy O- Wade in that had the center sticker stuck on the actual grooves of the record rather than the middle. completely unplayable. Messy break up though and never got the reciept back

did you dump her because of that, fair

I'm swear my one sound pretty poor, maybe it's just my one.

Think you might be unlucky. My copy of that is fine, just needs a bit of a gain boost sometimes.

The only record I have that has an especially dodgy pressing is the Goli & Ashburner - Get Up + remixes plate, which is a shame 'cos the tunes are heavy. Sounds like the cutting is too shallow or something, the frequencies aren't all quite there and there's a lot of noise.

what do you call that yellow album? with the kode9 tune and the plastician tune? mine sounds shite

steppas delight?

yeah that's the one, some tunes on there that i'd like to play more but each record sounds like poo

my mate has it too and he said something similar.

on a related note, poison dart sounds so bad, that it's shocking, i bought the CD and it's just..

the tune itself or the pressing? on the album or the single?

My copy of that Mary Anne Hobbs compliation with Mud on it sounds awful. Unlisten-able

Mine's the same. The intro to Loefah's remix of Candyfloss is absolutely piercing! Have to whack the hi freqs way down. Poison Dart is just terrible as well.
