BAD QUALITY VINYL-REPRESSES

Maybe a good idea to make a thread where we can list bad VINYL-represses which need to be avoid because of their crap quality.
Here we start with two records I got recently which are bad quality represses:
BATHORY: under the sign LP by Hellion records: The sound falls away constantly and makes it hard to listen to it: AVOID!!
IMMORTAL: Diabolical Full Moon LP repress by Osmose: DON'T BUY: the complete last track of eight minutes (one of their best) is missing.
I know I got a lot more...

Beherit : TOoBB reissue LP Crap photoshop enhanced cover & the soon to be classic "Dawen Of Ssatan's Millenium". At first I was like okay, but compared to the other repress by Primitive Reaction it just fails miserably

Thanks I was thinking of buying that reissue of Immortal, but I will stay away from it now.

Wow, they really fucked up on those Beherit represses eh? Damn.
The worst repress I have seen so far is the Mercyful Fate - Melissa LP reissue... it looks like they scanned the CD version and blown it up, then "corrected" the colors in Photoshop. It's really a disaster - I've seen it in a record shop here and when you compare it to the real thing, it's a miserable piece of shit. I can't comment on the sound, but I assume they did a crappy job too

Same with the first Obituary LP, looks like they just blew the CD cover image up, looks TERRIBLE compared to the original LP.

Molested LP re-issue. Ultrathin cover, no insert like the Re-Release CD, cover scanned and magnified. Crap.
Same for nearly all Xtreeme Records re-releases.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the sound quality of Twillight of the gods and Hammerheart vinyl reissues that Black Mark did some years ago.

The recent King Diamond - Voodoo bootleg LP. Probably one of the worst scan jobs I've ever seen.

I really haven't been impressed with many recent vinyl releases, it seems most labels just slap the CD master to wax and it doesn't sound right.

All these Black Mark reissues sound shitty. When it comes to Bathory, better stick to the original pressings.
