Thanks for the info. I wont be buying this on vinyl. Only reason I didn't grab it on vinyl when I bought the disc is I didn't see that vinyl display.

I concur with everything GNRBABY's said so far. I'm an avid vinyl collector of both new and old material. I have a top shelf set up and I too experience skips throughout the CD vinyl.

I have adjusted the weight gauge on my stylus (needle) arm and this eliminated 60% of the skips. I discussed this with a vinyl geek friend tonight, and he said it should have been put on 4 LP's, not squeezed onto two LP's. The information is ultra compressed, thus leaving tighter grooves for the needle and compromising the sound. (notice IRS in particular sounds like shit, but has no skips)

If you don't have a weight gauge attach a penny or quarter to your stylus...
