What's With Pallas And Warped LP's??

I've been through 3 versions of John Coltranes ORG Crescent. The second LP has had problems 3 whole times. First, all 3 times the second LP was cut off centered or something. My periphery ring would not sit flush all around the disc. First LP was fine, but all the times problems with the second disc.

Then on the 3rd replacement, first cut on side 4 had 20 seconds of revolutionary ticks.

Anyhow, deal with a good online retailer and they make sure you get taken care of. Elusivedisc have been nothing but great about the exchanges and seemed just as determined to get it right for me as I did.

Yes, Pallas definitely seems to be having problems recently. Even many problems reported with the Neil Young 4lp Box set that came out recently.

This is completely different from earlier experiences with Pallas pressings. They have always been perfect and top notch before. If I knew that a LP has been pressed in Pallas, I just assumed it would be perfect and that held true until recently.

The guy in charge of quality: retired, got laid off, quit, with new management his job was retitled with a 50% pay cut, so why would he care anymore,
they ramped up production because some front office jackass thought too much time was being wasted in the cool down process, and so the Lps are pulled off the stamper too soon and warp.
The dude making the LPs is paid by the piece, and so to make an extra dollar an hour he has speeded up the machine and damn the customer.
The machines are now manned by Turkish immigrants who do not speak German and look REALLY mean, Try telling THEM what to do..
The front office is telling them to speed up because the demand has risen, and no-one working there anymore has the balls to tell them NO.
Any or all of these are the reason, and perhaps others

Elizabeth,

Does Nonesuch know anything about this??

If they're getting everything pressed at Pallas, this is a really serious problem!
