My copy of Stampin (180g limited edition with black plastic sleeve) is fucked.
It sounds like an acetate after 250 plays, to much crackly and it also doesn't seem have good bass no more.
I have records in harness with others like everyone inside but only this one, Poison dart (I little) and Jah War (a little) are ruined. I'm pretty sure the cause is plastic sleeve and maybe the temperature (about 93°F when hot).

Purple love has same sleeve, I keep it out before ruin

interesting, my Its Yours copy is in a plastic sleeve... Might have to change

All on Ninja Tune? erm... maybe that's the problem? My copy of eastern jam is fine, timeblind - justification is fine, Distance remixes are fine.

EDIT: and my poison dart copy is fucked!

Noticed this on my mate's copy of Stampin'. Didn't hear it when he bought it, but sounds well ropey now.

my copy of ganja is on virgin vinyl (ninja as well). could be the problem?

my copy of poison dart sounded fucking terrible right from when i bought it! didnt listen to it in the shop as it was bag on sight tune for me! got it home and the highs in both tunes on the b-side are terrible. i think its the pressing rather than the plastic sleeve as my copy of jah war in a plastic sleeve still sounds pukka!

Nah, Ninja Tune is not guilty
The problem is that sleeve, as comments above said too.
Distance remixes are fine for me too, but they have a sleeve like a small bag, less stiff than the one I'm talking about.
No problem with my Ganja copy cause its not in a plastic sleeve.

To Solo Strike: believe me, I did it when I bought it

To trigga: my JahWar and Poison dart are not extremly fucked like Stampin, they are in plastic sleeves but a little different in texture. About Stampin my bside sounded good but with a very low volume



Remember we are talking about some big tunes for me, this thread dont wanna reprimands Ninja Tune, just a "subtlety"

its all about getting your own sleeves!

Do records usually come in plastic sleeves, I got no idea if mine are in plastic or not.

supposed to protect them more than standard disco bags.

wouldn't think it was the plastic, vinyl has been shipped like this for 60 years probably. could be a new form of bio de gradable bullshit plastic tho or something along those lines.

im abit confused , same as printerjam remix green vinyl ??

Its Yours in a plastic sleeve?

the full release with the etching on the b-side came in a clear plastic sleeve. I'm assuming the promos didn't.

yeah my copy came in a clear plastic sleeve.

could it be anything to do with a build up of static?
Ive thought this before.

Yeah I though the same thing about my "its yours" ringo etched plate. So i put it inside a paper sleeve and then put that back in the original plastic one.

Virgin vinyl is NOT the problem haha.. Virgin vinyl is only quality.. Deep medi only uses 180g virgin vinyl I think, and they have one of the best dubstep vinyl pressings i've heard.. bigup deep medi!

my copy of jah war is fucked cos of the sleeve

Stampin and Poison dart were fucked when i bought them, bare quiet and shit quality. Means I dont play them which is long because they are both sick. My Jah Wars fine though. Might change the sleeve just in case.

My copy of Stampin has been fucked since i got it, really wish it wasn't cos i would play it loads otherwise.

havnt played my copy of jah war in a bit, you guys are getting me worried......ill check tomorrow, seeing as how all of my records are at my friends house.

enlighten me, please... how can a plastic sleeve ruin a record?
