Surely it should say ‘minimal care will be taken to ensure that the records we ship are not unplayable’?
That ‘strap in for an endless wait’ thing for a replacement faulty LP is such a naus btw - they must have such a crappy relationship with their supplier. You see many cases where a plant give high priority to represses for labels, once theyve accepted fault. Do WW not have any leverage at this point?
So, generally speaking, leaving aside Waxwork records for a moment, one thing I was wondering a bit earlier, is how easy or difficult it is to deal with pressing plants. I wonder if most labels are given very little power if they want to hold their place in line and ensure they can keep producing their releases. I wonder if pressing plants have very strict criteria for accepting the blame in a faulty pressing or instead just saying ''well, tha't s a flawed medium, the pressing is considered acceptable''. The pressing plants certainly won't lack projects to press, so I wonder how much leverage labels have to ensure they're given a quality product from the plant.
