If it doesn't skip, scuffs and scratches don't bother me much - especially on rock records. My two most scuffed up records are from County Joe & the Fish, and it's like they have a little extra '60's sprinkled on them.

I treated myself to some new vinyl for Christmas. The Zeppelin "Celebration Day" set, the Robert Plant "Band of Joy" double disc, and Fleetwood Mac's new re-release of the self title. That's the only one I'v opened so far. I had been looking for one in better condition than the 2 I have. I put together a collection of all Mac's vinyl stuff going back to the first mono Blue Horizon release. Anyway, I opted for the single LP version. It was also released as a dual 45 rpm set, but I'm glad I got just the single because it was really a nice clean pressing and has fantastic dymanic range. You can really hear the subtlties in Stevie's voice and softer things I'd not heard in the 2 first pressing releases I have. And you can tell they didn't play around much with remixing it. Just a good remasterintg.
