hi @all .-.

i've got my playhouse 094 yesterday : melchior productions - the meaning ...

now the vinyl is hard jumping on the 3'rd track ... i've noticed the seller (discogs) that it is a little bit too hard for a near mint described vinyl that costs 18,- € + shipping when 1 track isn`t playable !!!

but it's the last copy out of the playhouse overstock so he cant exchange it !!

my question is now, are there any tricks i can do to get the track playable !!??

thx in advance !

grz, phiL°

thats a way to get the track , but i would know if there is any chance to get the whole album on vinyl in a playable condition, ... i dont buy it and then only 7 out of 8 tracks works

!!! but if it doesnt work i must buy them digital

You can make your own dubplate for 30 euro if you want your digital on vinyl... just a thought

And you can even pass it off to your mates as a ultra-limited promo copy

well for startesrs, why is it jumping?
was it mint as in sealed? if it's been played, it's not mint. period.
if there's a scratch, you can ask your money back and give bad feedback cuz I fkn hate people who rate disks with obvious ware "mint" lousy bastards

If it was sealed/bad pressing theres quite nothing you can do about it.
Maybe increase the arm weight, try different needle, align the cartridge...

i wouldn't do that.

is it a scratch or a bit of dirt? if it's a scratch you can't clean it out.

i would also give the guy negative feedback on discogs.

haha robot criminal is serious about the ratings, last week i came accidentally on his discogs profile - i thought if i were a seller i would only trade mint and sealed with him ^^
