It was Hang Up on Klute's Total Self.

It left an audible pop but the record was playable.
That is pure artistry!

@N type - I suggest some kind of funnel system...

i don't mind old reggae singles that skip, like quite a few of mine do, but any dnb/hip hop/dubstep that skips is heart breaking.

ntype if you don't want any of your dirty dubs, i'll buy them off you cheap. i'd clean them up!

Just remembered my copy of Benga - Roller has a scratch all through the lush intro, still plays but with a click every time it goes around.

How hard can it be.... Hmmm

:?
my sensible to the point of boring suggestion: buy a bunch of spare empty paper sleeves and keep them together at the back of your bag. just chuck used tunes in there if the original sleeves aren't to hand...

mind you n-type, you'd probably need an empty bag to keep your spare sleeves in number of dubs you get through! :lol:

one that i only found a few days ago was Benga - Electro Music... forgot about the tune, got all excited when i found it in the pile and the fucker skips about 1 minute in... well pissed !!

generally I'm pretty good at looking after them but I'm sure there's a few more after getting spannerd and mixing
