Avoid the new Portishead "special edition" LP. Return rates have hovered at around 75% due to defects.

Hence, the dark side of vinyl--production imperfections in the factory.

I have the new Portishead "Third" LP, and it is fine (of course one copy proves nothing). I assume this is different from the one Bob refers to.

'Tis the same record but you were fortunate; the run on those was flawed.

If you're referring to the 3 and a half disc box set, mine was perfect. The single sided 45rpm of Machine Gun is the most dynamic gut wrenching recording I've ever heard!
