My singles box arrives Thursday.

Anyone care to share what test pressing they received?

Just curious... did anyone else notice how bad those pressings are? Lots of surface noise, distortion and the needle jumps on the "louder" cuts.

That's the point. The bosses would prefer for the digital reproduction to cease altogether to make people buy the imperfect media. As for the quality control, it does not come cheap enough for them.

Which particular pressings are you referring to? I'll take a listen and see if it's a common thing.

Yes, Bluebird is completely distorted. The singles from Rock Show to Wonderful Christmastime (so far) are all unplayable, i.e. needle jumps.
