Well I don't know how/where CSN&Y 4 Way Street LP was pressed, but I ended up buying 4 copies before I got a decent one.
How 'bout it, Atlantic Records?
Two actually had a "hump" in the vinyl that would cause an instant of distortion/or no clear sound until the needle found the groove, on the first track.
Abysmal. In the early 70's I found the best vinyl from UK/EU sellers. Where they were actually made I have no clue now.
It was rumored at the time that old stock, labels and all, were thrown back into the pot to melt down for new LP's. Sounds ludicrous, but some definitely sounded that way.
