Has anyone else noticed quality issues with maiden vinyls?
I haven’t even considered expanding my Maiden vinyl collection because out of the 3 o got, only The Evil That Men Do single is the only one that sounds good. Several years ago my parents gave me the Somewhere Back in Time compilation that features some amazing picture discs and the Live Chapter some years later, but they both sound terrible, all the discs, they all have a ton of skips since they were new and I never intended to return them because they were gifts. But I have never seen any posts addressing this issue, so I don’t know if it’s a recurring thing or if I’m just terribly unlucky. I’ve tried them in 2 different good quality turn tables, one was brand new and the albums sounded just as bad in both cases. All sides and all songs have multiple skips, they are absolutely unlistenable.
