I heard the same thing. There's been a few recent represses apparently from the Buzz label, and all of them have garnered the same remark - Poor job on the quality of these pressings.
I really wanted to pick them up - but have decided to pass based on these reviews. -----Original Message----- From: Maarten Baute [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 9:59 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) panic in detroit Hi, I noticed that the "panic in detroit" compilation on BUZZ (Belgium) is bootlegged (an unofficial repress so to speak). From online audio samples I conclude that the pressing is really bad and there is a lot of surface noise. Can anyone confirm this? Is this record playable?
