Rudy Van Gelder was born 100 years ago Today!

Yes, I know Jim. But I bought one yesterday and I’m now waiting for the replacement! That one has a curve of surface scratches across side one, plus it has a slight warp. I suppose at least with Amazon it’s possible to choose the best of two and return the worst, but I do get fed up with it.

I sympathise completely Clive I had a terrible run of warps not too long ago that boosted my CD collection. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

The replacement arrived and it’s worse than the first one. It has exactly the same arc of surface scratches and has a double warp with adjacent peaks. It seems the record plant has a process issue. I guess I’ll just live with the first copy. I already have it on CD, both the original and the latest remaster. Despite the issues, the LP still sounds a bit more wholesome than the CD.
