Issues with the US vinyl edition of Chinese Democracy?

Thank you.

I bought my vinyl the first day and I haven't had any problems with it, it's a little scraped up in some areas but every song plays without skips.

The vinyl is probably one of the worst sounding vinyls I have however, I buy vinyl for the superior sound, but you just really never get it on CD.  It's disappointing to sound the least.

I wanted to bump this as a service to anyone still looking to hear the last few songs on each side in good quality.

I upgraded my stylus yesterday to the Audio Technica AT440MLa. The ML stands for "Micro Line" and I've read that this particular stylus is exceptional when it comes to inner groove distortion. I'm happy to report that the last song on each side sounds absolutely perfect with this new stylus. It's flat out amazing what a difference it made.

So, my biggest recommendation for those looking to hear Chinese the best way possible is to get this stylus!

Just glad to be of help to anyone trying to hear this album the way it was meant to be heard 

I was honestly shocked and I mean SHOCKED the first time I listened to The Blues with this stylus. Everything from Robin's solo on used to sound like complete garbage and now everything all the way up to the final echo of the synth is absolutely perfect!

Here's the link for it on Audio Techica's website:

As you'll see, the MSRP is $362.00 but I was able to get it for a little under $200 just by shopping around a little bit.

with the rising popularity of vinyl these days maybe we'll get another edition of this. My fear is that they printed too many copies the first time and it didn't sell well in this format. Now, you can pick up CD on LP for $10 in the US. I bought one last week for $10 and the copy was clean without prints or dirt. No improved sound (not that I expected that)
