Non Fill Vinyl Records

This flaw causes a grinding or scratching sound at the non fill point.

Non fill vinyl records. Here s the new friday music issue of queensrÿche s empire. A vinyl non fill record comes from a problem with the molten vinyl. So tired of these shitty pressings. To celebrate omnivore records has reissued and remastered the album and brought attention and care to a somewhat disremembered historical artifact created by two musical luminaries.

Of note omnivore s campaign is the first time this album has been released on vinyl. I just cleaned my brand new copy of lcd soundsystem s american dream dfa records. If it doesn t pour properly or it starts to harden too early the machines can t cut the groove properly. The sound produced is noise a shsssshing sound that we ve all heard too often.

I couldn t in good conscious sell this nearly brand new record graded higher than vg. Which is ridiculous for a 25 record. Non fill is when the vinyl does not fully flow up into the stamper giving a truncated groove wall and deformed lands. Since most vinyl records contain up to 30 recycled vinyl impurities can accumulate in the record and cause even a brand new record to have audio artifacts such as clicks and pops.

The results are poor sound quality and a shooshing noise. In fact if the record is held in the right light it s even possible to see the non fill area. Side 1 has a steady non fill crackle through the entire side. Under light the unfilled areas appear to sparkle.

It occurs most often on a 180g record s outer edge and is caused by the vinyl s beginning to harden prematurely. This was the problem that plagued classic s early 200g quiex sv p flat. Virgin vinyl means that the album is not from recycled plastic and will theoretically be.
