Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
waiting 3 months for a limited copy of Goldfrapp - Supernature on vinyl only to discover its scratched, warped and chipped. contacted CS and they are trying to wriggle out of it.
out of around 20 new LPs' i have had 2 keepers. the rest have been flawed. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I remember the day my (then 2 years old) son found my 10" singles vinyl collection and decided to use them as frisbees while I was in the kitchen making him lunch.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
According to my parents, when I was a toddler I used to chew their singles and EPs. Mmmmm, lovely vinyl.

Is the wheel bent too or is that just rubber distortion?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
New £5 notes (plastic kind) make good boots to go inside a tyre to get you home if you have a split that might rupture the inner tube. I keep a 2 inch long bit of old tyre in my saddle bag just in case.
