Vinyl fault

— Filed Under: News

Dear All
It has been brought to our attention that a percentage of our recently reissued ‘The Blanc Tapes’ vinyl has a manufacturing issue. Band, management and London Records went through a lengthy approval process to produce this release- in fact the test pressings we all approved sounded fantastic but unfortunately the final pressing was affected, in part, by vinyl pollution. This is an issue with the vinyl material itself which was used for part of the run.
The problem has sporadically effected the three albums. If you have one or more copies in your set which have marks/chemical residue on the vinyl itself or sound issues please email info@londonrecordings.co.uk. We will replace faulty copies free of charge. Please include your full name, postal address, proof of purchase (email or copy of receipt) and state which of the faulty albums you have.
Thank you and big apologies to those who have had issues.
