The only thing worse than not finding any decent records is finding great records, only to discover that someone's destroyed them.

The Zeppelin III pencil damage was most likely done by an angry girlfriend or ex.

Back in the days of vinyl and 8 tracks I bought Rare Earth's 'In Concert' and it had 'I Just Want to Celebrate' on it eight times on one side and nothing on the other. I took it back and got it replaced with the full record but I should have kept it

I got a Dark Side of The Moon vinyl from a grandparent. Its been played so much the needle doesn't even go in the grooves anymore.

"Sketches of Spain" is a MUCH better record than "Quiet Nights", so it isn't all bad.

Not listed: the gigantic disappointment of ordering a mint condition rarity on eBay only to have it arrive in a flimsy box of taped together dry cereal boxes - with a very obvious completely bent corner. In this instance I'd actually sent the seller the URL on how to package LPs for shipment, which they totally ignored.

I have a vinyl copy of Paul McCartneys Flowers in the Dirt that I purchased new when it first was released. Even though it looks pristine it has always played with pops and clicks. Cleaning has not helped it. Glad to see that I’m not the only one this has happened too.

Just found your show a couple hours ago and already watched 4 episodes. You are very entertaining and full of knowledge. Keep it up!

To find my dog chewing on my John Lennon...Imagine album cover. A visual hard to forget...

Found A Copy Of The Who's Tommy On Vinyl. Pulled Out Disc 2 And It Had A Huge Crack In It And The Person Was Wanting To Sell It For 20 Bucks. Not Even Worth 3 Cents

I've gotten two copies of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, each missing Record 1...

The first time I bought The Who’s “Tommy” on vinyl, it was just record two, sides 3 and 4. It was a rerelease, because the original pressings had side 1 and 4 on record one, and sides 2 and 3 on record two.

Water damage and warping are two of my biggest pet peeves.

I’ve suffered the ripped gatefold on the original UK press of Neu! 75 . Luckily I found a cheap one with a bad record, but pristine cover.

I have also had the "half off" record - blonde on blonde - I really did think at first it might have been like one of those reissues where they split a double LP into "volume 1 and 2" but nope - a homebrew version of that. I have seen dried paint spatter, tape residue on the grooves, milk crates full of cover-less records, all the ways different shops "discounted" their records (cut corners, hole punches that spell "free,", staples, rivets, even punching the hole through the middle of the cover and then through the label - sorry late 70's reissue of pet sounds, cracked from the inside out!) Don't forget about a 1cm outer edge crack in an otherwise mint copy of Floyd's Animals. Albums in covers of other albums, with the name of the record inside written in pen on the cover (Monty Python has addressed this...) The worst ever though, was like someone's sadistic vinyl torture project - using that old brown packing tape to tape two to three completely different albums together - then hole punching three times in each cover's spine, and weaving them together with twine like a "vinyl centipede" - true horrors. I have committed some of my own! Finding albums with no covers, and then creating two LP sets out of two completely different records, taking a blank white cover and creating new artwork for the imagined "double album" (combining the first Captain Beyond album with the album Armageddon to create "The Armageddon of Captain Beyond") - at least they were lost causes to begin with, no true harm done.

Making sure it's not too scratched up, taking it home, putting it on the turntable only to discover it's warped beyond repair. That's my biggest downer when it comes to records.

When I was young I bought the Velvet Underground live double album at a fair, checked record one (mint)... only slipped record two out enough to make sure it looked as good ( it did).. when I got home I realised that record two was in fact a Crystal Gayle album.. not quite VU. Never made that mistake again. The Miles Davis sleeve looks like it’s in great condition, surely someone with a good copy vinyl in a not so cool sleeve would buy it.

Thank you so much! It’s been a year and a half since I’ve doubled over with laughter!!! Subscribed 🌟👍

Hey mate! I just found your video and I was cringing right along with you. About the (Led Zeppelin) lp; Dude, I think you may want to just throw that out, it is probably scratched, you will maybe remove the pencil mark but the scratch will still be there. A lesson I learned a long time ago: If you are buying used records out in the wild, Always check them first before buying. I have had many heartaches because I was too lazy to do this.

Hi, Robert...just discovered your videos yesterday. Enjoying them a lot, so far! While I do have a few records that are atrocious for various reasons, I typically already knew about it when I bought them, so it wasn't a nasty surprise. But other than that, I avoid vinyl atrocities by not blind-buying them in the first place! I don't know how you wound up with some of those that you didn't explain, but yeah...I won't just blind-buy, because I hate getting burned like that. If it's an online purchase, I'll always check with the seller first to make sure what's what, if they didn't already say in the listing. Another REALLY annoying atrocity is when the corner is cut off or the jacket is otherwise sawed into. There is NEVER an excuse to deface a record sleeve like that, bargain bin or otherwise, I don't care. I do have a couple of brand new records with the horrible bacon-frying sound, and yep, they are clean as can be! My only guess is that it's a manufacturing/stamping error...but it's terribly annoying! But truthfully, my biggest pet peeve with any music format would be those terrible remasters that are brickwalled and smashed all to hell and just sound like a wall of noise. Talk about no excuse...hahaha!

if the white albums gatefold had pictures of the beatles someone probably put it on their wall

Every one of these atrocities happened to me in my record collecting journey. I try to watch closer, but what you gonna do with new pressings that are noisy as hell?

People writing their names on, not only the album cover, but the record label, is to do with how they'd take their records to a party and felt the need to label their ownership of them to stop anyone else taking them home. You understand why they do it, but wished they'd found a less permanent way to do it. I've had reissues of gatefold LPs that were only the front and back stuck together, which is only kind of disappointing, when you realise the originals were gatefolded and that you're essentially missing out of half of the artwork because of it.

What a massive wall of records you got!! Thanks for sharing this great video!

That reminded me of a time that I bought a sealed copy of Pet Shop Boys' Discography only to get 2 copies of disc 1

"A 12 inch single for "Out on the Tiles". LOL

Robert, love the channel and content and the great sense of humor. Subscribed!

I love your framed autographs of STP! Nice t.shirt as well. I used to own Nina Simone's "Live in Paris" double LP as a small child and only had record 2! I discovered the full album when I eventually found the CD version...but it took me some 30 years or something. I wouldn't mind a Columbia House copy just because I'm in France and these club issues are completely exotic to me, sort of unique items. :) I don't ever remember coming across an album that had a poster WITH the poster...:( A CD atrocity : I once bought a double CD, mostly for CD 2 and found myself with two CD1. How the hell did that happen?? I was too busy to check their condition to notice it...

I had a Frampton Comes Alive that was missing record 2. Coincidentally enough a few months later, I found a FCA that was missing record 1. Only time I've ever seen record 1 missing and it just happened to be exactly what I needed.

It looks like you have a great collection of albums and CD's. Your lucky to have that, I'm trying to build my own collection up. Your videos are great.😍

A few months ago I bought a CD of "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull at a record/cd show at a local hotel, when I played it a few days later I knew something was wrong as the first song on it was not the title track, I take it out and notice it was "Benefit" by Jethro Tull, apparently it got switched at some point and I didn't notice it because I never opened it up when I bought it with no plastic wrap on the outside. I figure somewhere out there is a CD case for Benefit with Aqualung inside. Not a big atrocity but a lesson to always check what is inside a record or CD case when you buy it. Only cost me $8 so it was not that big a deal.

I have to say that the Miles Davies atrocity would also be my biggest one in the list as well. That would seriously mess with my OCD as well!

I feel your pain. All of this has happened to me, only substitute a sharpie for the pencil. I know this was posted quite some time ago, but I do have a cover for that Miles Davis album. My record skips terribly from being played to death, it was one of my grandfather’s favorites, So that leaves me with a cover to spare. Unfortunately, gramps did not keep his albums in plastic so the cover is a little worn. Let me know if you want me to send it to you. I know I’m a total stranger but as a fellow collector, I really hate that that happened to you. It’s happened to me more times than I can count. You take care.

I bought a copy of Chicago III with one record missing, but I bought it that way on purpose. I already had a Japanese pressing of it but it didn't have the poster that originally came with it. The record store I found this in had the poster but only one record and they priced it for two records. I showed them that one was missing and I asked if I could buy it for a reduced price so I could have the poster, which they did. I have two record club albums with pretty serious issues. A copy of King Crimson's "Three Of a Perfect Pair" had a remix of one of the songs instead of the album mix and a copy of Yes' "90125" has a break between two songs where there shouldn't be one. The final note of "Cinema" is supposed to still be fading when "Leave It' starts, but on this one it just cuts off, then a few seconds of silence and the note cuts back in as "Leave It" starts. I have a copy of Focus' "Focus 3" with the gatefold cut out. I didn't know for years that there was supposed to be one. Also I'm ashamed to admit that, as a teen, I did the same to a copy of "This Is the Moody Blues" so I could have a Moodies "poster" on my wall.

my personal vinyl atrocity it that i keep forgetting to FULLY check before i purchase!!! lolol lol i had been looooking for Genesis-Seconds Out, found it, pulled out one of the two records from the sleeve to check... it looked sooo great! until i arrived home and excited to play.... only to find that on disc one, there was a heaping amount of melted candle(?) wax all over side one! aaahh!!! lucky i researched on how to fix it, i think i did an ok job, it plays well, light crackling and a light pop or two but no worse than some other older records we own cheers, love your videos!!

I think this is more of a pet peeve than an actual atrocity. But it's so annoying when the rpm isn't clearly stated anywhere on the sleeve or the disc itself. I don't know how many 7" I've played at 45rpm and thoroughly enjoyed because the bands speed and insane vocals. Then when I go to add it to my collection on discogs I find out that it was supposed to be played at 33rpm, and that awesome band I thought I liked turned out to be barely average at best. I guess this is more of a problem when you focus on the extremer sides of music, where crazy, fast guitars and high pitched vocals aren't that uncommon, and playing a record too fast isn't immediately obvious though.

thing about the prices is that, despite the renewed interest, they just don't make them in the volume they used to.

My vinyl atrocity is with an album by Credence Clearwater Revival with a cover different from the album inside by the same band, somebody let it at my house around the second half of the 70s and I didn't notice it for years!! , and even worse, everything it's in bad shape, cover and record. The second one I have is a very old Abbey Road LP, which looks like a very old one, but is totally broken from the center to one side, it may be perfectly a first press or a bit later but is totally damaged. Somebody else forgot it at my house when it was in one piece, but after many years it went broken, I believe it was starting to break when I found it at home. By the way, Nice video!!! ✌️

My worst nightmare, is finding a record with damaged label, writing on the label in black pen, split record seems and most offensive sticky tape on the vinyl cover holding it together and a persons name or no inner sleeves etc

Man, I know your pain. I had a wonderful uncle, who was a real hip cat in his 20’s. He always bought and played the best albums during the musical golden-age of the 1960’s. He lived with us for about a year in the late ‘60s (when I was about 4 years old.) We always cranked the tunes on our super deluxe RCA Victor Colour TV/Hi-Fi Stereo/ Radio combo. I’d literally be bouncing of the couch into walls while he’d be singing along to all the latest hits. He gave me a love of music that has lasted my whole life! He passed away quite young and because I was his favourite relative he left me his entire vintage vinyl collection. Now, during the ‘60s he bought every single Beatles album…all original pressings! Problem is, according to my mom, he dated some pretty crazy girls during that period, and they were all absolutely in love with the Fab Four. Now, he always generously let people he loved borrow his records. Bad move. Not only were these albums played on the functional equivalent of 1920’s gramophone by his girlfriends but, adding insult to injury, all the album covers are adorned in various shapes, variety, and colour of lipstick kisses (as if these girls actually made-out with these album covers regularly!) Further, comments like ‘I love Paul’ or ‘Ringo is so cute’ is written in eyeliner/lipstick/nail polish all over every album cover… From ‘Meet The Beatles’ to ‘Sgt. Pepper’ these albums are all a mess. Fortunately they apparently didn’t like ‘Abbey Road’ or ‘Let It Be’ (perhaps the girls he dated started to get a little more mature.) The good news is he was quite fastidious about 150 other vintage albums that went un-mauled. However, it breaks my heart to see those beautiful albums all scared and worn-out! But, to this day, they remind me of a great guy who always had beautiful girlfriends, who were all nutty Beatles fans-aren’t we all!

I’m thinking the pencil scratching was an angry lover destroying the record he loved best! I have an Artie Shaw 2 record set that has him “In the Blue Room” but “The Cafe Rouge “ is long gone.

A record bought recently on the internet arrived to my mailbox folded in half by the USPS postman. Of course the album was snapped in half and thankfully the distributor gave me a full refund. Wonder if there was an audible snap when they folded it to shove it in my mailbox?

Some time ago, I got a CD copy of Speakerboxxx / The Love Below by OutKast, which is a 2 CD set. Well, it only had the Speakerboxxx disc in it, which sucks because Hey Ya wasn't even on Speakerboxxx. So yes, even I have fallen victim to the Missing Record 2 Curse.

i used to be quite into kiss (not so much anymore, sorta considering selling some of my kiss collection), and i ended up with the four solo records along with the posters (one even with the original kiss army promo stuff). someone down the line wrote on paul stanley's poster in pen and put a few stickers on it too, luckily was able to get the stickers off though.

Oh my gosh. The presses under license by Columbia house ones. Without saying what, that was easily the cause of the biggest record buying mistake I’ve ever made

My dog peed on my "Beatles Collection" boxset! And then someone left chocolate fingerprints on the inner ring of one of the White album discs!

About ten years ago I found Sinatra's album "All Alone" in a dollar box at a record store in NYC. The condition looked fine so Ii bought it. When I played it I found it had the same five songs on both sides. I brought it back and the clerk just said keep it and take another dollar record. More recently at Bookoff in Manhattan I found Past Masters ll CD case but it had volume one disc.

My variations on these: 1. I'm missing a record that is not Disc #2. It's Disc #3, from the Grateful Dead Europe '72 set. 2. My copy of the KISS Gene Simmons solo album that I got as a kid has some pencil/pen damage, probably from my sister. 3. I have several albums I inherited from my dad with sleeves in atrocious shape. The worst example might be a Joni Mitchell "For the Roses" gatefold that is now entirely split into two pieces that I've put in an outer sleeve. The record itself is in decent shape. 4. I saved the best for last. Another inherited record is Dylan (1973). Yes, probably Dylan's worst album ever, the covers album that Columbia rushed out after he left the label. Someone (not my dad) wrote their name on the cover, and it can't be mistaken for a funny obscenity. But, look inside, and it's not even a Dylan record. It's an extremely beat-up Jackson Browne "For Everyman" that I won't even try to play. I think this is officially the least valuable thing in my collection, and I have some truly horrible budget cassette tapes I bought in the 1980s.

I scored a beautiful new pristine 180 gram of Evanescence “Fallen”, with not so much as a surface scratch, and it was like you said, the sound of frying bacon in the dead wax and between tracks. I’ve noticed the thick paper inner sleeve (made from magazine slick paper instead of the standard) wants to cling to the disc whenever I’d pull it out. Perhaps static electricity is the issue for the pop? And if so, what’s the best (and cheapest) remedy for this atrocity?

I think you can remove pencil markings with an eraser. They even come attached to some pencils.

I literally own that Columbia House edition of the Houses of the Holy 8-track you showed. You are reading this as "I have a copy of that." No, I am saying I own that EXACT copy! I created the Discogs entry for that one using my own copy, and I guess that is where you got the photo. Someone has since uploaded photos of a better copy (which is great), but you can see my photo is still there, albeit disabled. I even see the piece of pink housing insulation board that I used as a backdrop, haha. Wow, this is great! I feel like I've made it in the record/tape collector world, haha.

ATROCITY: I had a Jethro Tull Album: Living in the Past, where some MoFo had cut out all the pictures in the Gatefold. Atrocity 2.0: i bought another copy of the same album, was a re-release where the cheapos has replace the multipage gatefold with an ordinary gatefold.

I've seen used albums with a crayon line drawn through some songs in a circular pattern , maybe to prevent airplay of those songs at a radio station. I also have found an album cover of a record I would have bought but the wrong record was inside. A few weeks or months later in the same store I found the record in the sleeve of the record that was in the first cover. But by then the other album with the wrong record was gone. A record archive in NYC that sells its excess copies writes the price in crayon on the covers. They're moving upstate now. I have that Grateful Dead album, the only one by them I ever bought, since it was fairly new in the '70s ,it has both albums. I liked "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard.

I'm not 100% if you brought it up but the classic atrocity, heat warping

i had bought a second hand elton john album years ago, which when you took the album out of the sleeve has "2 side 1 labels" dont know how rare or how it would have happen which someone had wrote in red pen side 1 and 2

I bought a sealed single album, got it home and nada inside. 😢 Took the sleeve and receipt back to the store. “Yeah, sure bud.” Rebought it. It was in 1979. Wish i could remember the disc.

I got a copy of Screaming For Vengeance and it had Defenders of the Faith inside... It was brand new from the factory.

On my initial purchase of Lionel Richie's "Can't slow down" deluxe 2 cd set and Sly Stone's Essential double disc, I received two of disc 1. The Sly Stone set was actually recalled and later released for this issue. I bought a copy of the Chi-lites Greatest hits 1 on Rhino and the cd label stated the proper album but it played something else. The same happened with Chuck Jackson's Great recordings on Tomato records but the incorrect title was on disc 1.

Wow great video Thanks. I have the album Running With the Pack by Bad Company that has the front part of the gatefold missing.😭

Last year, my atrocity was finding an OG copy of Steely Dan Can’t buy a thrill on eBay that was under $30 and claimed to be play-tested, mentioned “slight” warping, and given a vg+ grade. Only to find the warp wasn’t the usual disc wobble, but (I don’t even know how to explain this) it seemed the right side of the disc got hit on something in the past or was stored wrong because the first few songs on each side were beveled, making the stylus unable to progress the side without getting stuck.

Bought a copy of 'Time' by ELO but stoopidly didn't check the record (??!!). I got home and found it had the wrong vinyl in it. Took it back to the shop and the guy gave my money back - all good. But I asked if I could keep the inner sleeve which had lyrics on it. He was cool with that. Many years later I purchased another one, the correct record this time but the lyrics sleeve was missing. Just happened to have one of those! Win :)

I was going through some of my records today and found a Coop inner sleeve. I need to research Coop. Not familiar with them. I have a copy of Yessongs that is missing disc 1 of 3. Got it when I bought 70 albums from a friend. He couldn't find disc 1.

I swear, everything you mentioned, other than the pencilmarks, has happened to me.

Hey Robert, this post reminds me of some tricks for record restoration/cleaning I've learned over the years. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind if I put them in the comment section here for your viewers? They're a little lengthy but there are some great tips and a couple links to fantastic step by step restoration processes! Anyway, I wanted to ask you first?

I recently bought a copy of Hothouse Flowers - Home outta the £1 bin at my local record store, had a quick look at the vinyl - all good but made the mistake of not checking the actual title of the record - when I got home took it out to give it a clean and noticed the label didn't say Hothouse but Manic Street Preachers Generation Terrorists - Side Three & Side Four - so I got the "Second record" I also got the printed inner sleeve of the 2nd record - How does that happen?

With the exception of the 'modified' White album gatefold, I have seen all of those atrocitites. How about 'creative alteration' of album covers, e.g. a Barbra Striesand album with the picture of Streisand marked up so she looks like a demon.... The 'frying bacon' sound on your AC/DC album sounds like a classic case of "non-fill", a pressing flaw. Not super common, but I've run into this on both new and used records. Nice video, thanks for posting.

I had a version of zep three that had the crowley quote, was that an early pressing?

1995. "Friend" talked me into driving him from LA to Vegas to see his parents and sister. I do so. He rages at other drivers the whole way. We go out with his sister to bar and they ignore me the whole time. Next morning at his mom's house I wake up early and slip out to look for record shops. Find rare Japanese pressing of Judas Priest's live album "Unleashed in the East". It has 4 additional live songs including the great "Beyond the Realms of Death". I'm thrilled beyond belief. I'm like...ok, this trip has been a disaster, but if not for this trip I'd never have found this album. When I get back to LA I open the trunk and the album is grossly heat warped. It has half-inch waves all around.

Missing #2 just happened to me on Allmans/Fillmore and Hendrix! Painful 😖!

I once bought Judas Priest's Turbo only to discover that the album Night Songs was inside and no Judas Priest!

For the Led Zeppelin try a good enzyme cleaner, distilled water, 5 cycles of a ultrasonic cleaner, distilled water, and one more pass through an ultrasonic cleaner and distilled water.

Another VINYL Atrocity, is when the record was left inside a car in summer full 12:00pm . 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

I bought a few albums in the 80's while visiting London and they put on these thick outer sleeves made with PVC which I thought were great. Later found out they cause "misting" which is this white haze on the album and causes total static white noise sound. Don't think there is any cure. Thankfully my Ramones - It's Alive double album came with good inner sleeves that prevented the spread.

“These are vinyl atrocities brace yourselves!” Hahaha adorable

Vinyl atrocities indeed! Will definitely show some of mine.

On most record club albums you can see the noise in the grooves and the bubbles in the vinyl. Once you get used to looking for it, it jumps right out at you. Of course back when I used a basic record grinder to play them and didn't know what I was hearing, it didn't matter.

this may not be a vinyl atrocity but i have seen at the salvation army and yard sales where the cds are missing from the cases so if you are at the salvation army make sure you check the cases to be sure none are missing. you could sell the mismatched record and cover separately on ebay maybe someone who has it maybe able to get a replacement. good cleaning can help the record to some point but if it is played a lot or on a cheap record player that the tracking force is over 5 grams or the wrong needle is used you can ruin the media

I have never had a problem with the sound quality of the records from record clubs themselves. However, I always noticed that a lot of the people that got them from clubs didn't take care of them, so they tend to be more abused.

Think I stumbled on a oldie but goodie here

I got a bunch of vinyls from a coworker and it had Houses of the Holy in the batch with Judas Priests Turbo vinyl in it!

I hated getting dog eared covers and the album of course was absolutely perfect.

"It's a very warm album... once you get passed the song about ice and snow"!

which cat for the grateful dead? I think we might have it at the shop lol I could hook it up lol

Awesome, the Non- Gate fold White Album!! Dude that is so rare! You may own the only copy in the world!!🍎

I hope your friend bought "Posion Idea - Feel the darkness" when you bought that Tiny Tim album. Would have been kinda funny ;-)

I have picked up records without any covering or sleeves at my local thrift shop... they are so cheap I take the chance and surprisingly they sound decent ... clicks and pops here and there but no skipping and they clean up good ....always check the record to be sure it is the right record... I have got burned on a rod Stewart album ... just pulled it out to check the label and it said rod Stewart... but not the correct record ....

A thought on the Led Zeppling Pencil (if your still reading comments on this video) - have you tried a putty eraser? Instead of rubbing it over the pencil, try gently rolling it. Alternativley scotch tape might also work - presumabley in both cases you will be able to see the graphite on the eraser/scotch tape if it is coming off. Then try a normal vinyl clean to get rid of any debris. I don't think this would damage the vinyl itself (the putty eraser is very soft, and they don't damage paper), but as you said, if you've tried the glue thing, what the hell?

Try hot water cloth with small dab of rubbing alcohol for zeppelin Bought Hell on Atlantic cassettes but when I heard the band switched to Columbia I avoided it Powerage is my fave hands down Thought that Beatles looked a little too white now that's a first re tearing gatefold how many records do you have that the center hole is off so arm moves side to side that's an atrocity as well great video very funny like to think you were the first to bring unfortunate matter up with the vinyl community cheers!

When a friend of my divorced they cut all the 2 LP set albums in two!

I didn't mind the "Manufactured by Columbia House Under License " legend. What really bothered me was that the BMG Music Service CDs didn't even have a bar code. So it was immediately clear it was not store bought.

Even price stickers are a PITA. Name could be Finch(?). I found an SACD of Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds at a thrift store. Great condition, cheap ... But missing disc 1! Searched without success. Still bought it.

I have gotten some records at garage sales and they where the wrong one. Man that pissed me off to. Taught me some lessons

I love Skull & Roses, except for that endless drum solo!

I Got The Cars .Candy-O and its full of Mork and Mindy stickers...ironically the stickers are more collectable than the record....great album thou . I also got The Monkees. Pisces Aquarius limited and someone drew faces on the front.If you look up the album cover you will see what i mean. I don't understand this thing about mold/ mildew on the vinyl ....i just clean it and it's gone ..right ?

A “two LP set”! You mean a “Double album”? I’ve never, ever heard anyone call them a “two album set”. Strange!

I have a mix of two atrocities... Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and yes I only have the first record of it, but in the second slot there was a record indeed, the Elton John's Greatest Hits package from the mid 1970's. So I have a half Yellow Brick Road and a coverless Greatest Hits package...

I was hearing some people were buying the new Revolver special edition release and having quality issues with it from the get go.

I’ve got I Wanna Play For You by Stanley Clark. It’s a double album. And guess what? Both records are pencilled!

I've come across two copies of Zappa's Freakout both missing record 1

pencil removal ideas - i was going to suggest degreaser but decided to look up some ideas instead - "All Purpose Cleaner If the stain is on a surface other than fabric, apply all purpose cleaner to the stain, let the cleaner sit for several minutes and wipe away with a damp cloth. Vegetable Oil - If you’re looking for a green alternative, try applying vegetable oil to the stain and wiping the oil (and stain!) away with a damp cloth. " The vegetable oil sounds harmless and promising
