That hurts

"Collectibles" is really the reason there's quite some bad vinyl on the market.
Sold as another gimmick, as merchandise. Not as something you actually play and enjoy. Pity you only discover this after you've bought the record.

Anyways, I've never paid over $20 for an LP, and all of the new LPs I buy are of underground metal bands so they're generally the same price of the CD. Many underground distros will offer free shipping if your order is over a certain amount, although such distros generally have limited selection....

Not an option for me, the closest record stores (ones that sell vinyl, anyway) are an hour and a half away. So I usually end up having to order from American online distros.
