Negative Positive
Title: Great album, great remaster, but my copy's bunk
Review: I bought this album from a record store, sealed. Open it up, and there's little white specks practically glued to the record on both sides. After cleaning it up, the first cut, The Queen Is Dead, had several pops (popping at the same place every rotation), then a skip! The rest of the side played fine, but when I flipped over to side two, there's a series of pops on Marr's acoustic intro to Bigmouth Strikes Again.I've never had problems with any of the Rhino LP reissues, but apparently I got a bunk record, and to top it off, the store wouldn't exchange it or refund my money. I think I'll hold off on buying the rest of The Smiths vinyl reissues, thanks to getting burned on this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
