The Sword - Warp Riders vinyl warp problem

Has anyone else had this problem with their copy of Warp Riders? I'm on my third copy and this one is warped as well. I finally decided to buy one from an online vendor. I've had better luck with new vinyl online then buying it here locally.

I have the clear vinyl version, no warping problems. Is that the version you have?

I had the clear version first and it was super warped. It would hit my needle in the cue position. Then Dimple gave me another one from another location. It was a black vinyl non-hand numbered version and it was warped, but not as bad, so I traded it in at yet another location. This 3rd one is as warped as the first one (black vinyl hand numbered). I just don't want these lps damaging my needle as they wack into it either.

I ordered one from one of the Amazon Marketplace folks.


I'm going to see if they'll just give me my money back or give me store credit. I had similar problems when I bought Warpaint on vinyl, from The Beat(bought a picture disc from Elusive Disc online. sounds perfect!). I'm done buying new vinyl in this area.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic as hell that the title of this particular album is WARP RIDERS, and you're having trouble with the records being warped??

Sorry, someone was gonna say it sooner or later. Might as well be me.

Yeah, I did find it quite ironic while I was explaining it to the kids behind the counter. Even my wife made comment, "Well maybe that's how there supposed to be".

Too Funny..........
