So i bought the soundtrack for "the returned" on a recommendation of a friend, i've not yet seen the tv series its from but man the soundtrack is great, right up my street...
Anyway, i opened the sealed package last night and gave it a spin on my record player, i was admittedly more than a bit pissed but did notice some surface noise in a few of the quieter parts of the record... on investigation this morning seems there's quite a bit of surface noise/ crackle on a lot of tracks and even some rhythmic popping (suggesting a mark/scratch on the vinyl) on side one track 6 which is not great is it. Visual inspection reveals a few light marks but i can't see a mark where the pop happens...
Admittedly i do not buy a huge amount of brand new vinyl and most of my collection has been bought second hand but i do buy enough new to say that its quite rare in my case at least to hear such things on a brand new record. I have a nice turntable/stylus system so i'm sure it ain't down to that.
Anyone else bought this LP? Have I bought a duff one?
What would you guys do? Send it back? Or is it just par for the course...

And hey, enjoy the christmas break if indeed thats your thing
