the "COME" 2xLP vinyl with an error, did you have an experience like this, as well?

"Space (Funky Stuff Remix)"....

My needle keeps jumping/ skipping in this track only.

Can some of you tell a story similar to this?

So sad I can't play this because those remixes are wonderful........................... sad

This 2xLP:

"Come" Pro-A-7270 had this error in the track "Space (Funky Stuff Remix)" the second track on side 4.

Therefor I bought this 2xLP vinyl once again, but to my surprise the same thing happened once again.... this mistake seems general for all copies (I guess)?

I just loaded up my FLAC copy of my own Come (Promo 2xLP) Side D Track 2: "Space (Funky Stuff Remix)" and it plays with no skips.

Did both copies that you have skip in the same section of the song?

Not dead, not in prison, still funkin'...

I've never noticed any skips, but I'll put my copy on tonight and listen for it.

FLAC?

Ok I was talking about my 2 vinyl copies.

Yes both skips again and again through the whole song (Funky Stuff Remix)....

Very strange it must be an error in the pressing, because the vinyls are both in Mint, looks unplayed.

Yeah, my FLAC copy of my LP. The record had to play for me to make a FLAC of it. lol

Not laughing at yours not playing, just laughing at our mis-communication.
But yes, I made digital copies of my vinyl, of the same 2xLP that you are talking about. And no, my copy does not skip. That's really weird that it happened to you with 2 copies. And that's the only track that skips?

^ Ok cool, you made the FLAC files yourself.. biggrin

(I do this myself also, once in a while using Audacity)

still.... I find it strange that I own 2 copies of this 2xLP now and both are skipping in this track, but your copy is playing fine..

Damn I feel unlucky, both were rather expenssive.

Have you tried either copy on a different turntable?

I have that exact same pressing (US Promo 2xLP), no error.

I've emailed a friend who has a copy asking if his skips. I'll be sure to share his response.


EDIT: He said he's sure his doesn't skip but he'll double check and get back to me.
EDIT: His copy plays with no skips as well.

What type of stylus do you have? Is it conical or elliptical? Is your tracking weight correct? It can make a difference. Believe it or not cheap styli sometimes can make it through bad sections where good ones fail.

My boyfriend had a single he kept buying a few months ago cuz it kept skipping at the same part of the song, and after buying three copies, he was going mad...it turns out the needle on our player just needed replaced.
