However, as those who used to buy EMI classical LPs can testify, you can
make *anything* badly if you can't be bothered to take due care.

Ain't that the truth! Some of the EMI LPs I remember from years ago seemed
to be the 'extra floppy' weight of vinyl, that would bend under its own
weight.


I've got quite a number of EMI 'MFP' LPs as well as a large number of 'CFP'
discs and to say thay are all rubbish would be patently untrue. Many/most of
them are perfectly fine.

MFP, is that the "Music for Pleasure" stuff? Actually I had a very good
copy of one of Tchaikovsky's Piano concertos on that label, which got
played to death. I wouldn't say it was all rubbish by a long way, I just
happened across a few bad examples.

What's the record 'weight' got to do with it? - Appears to make not a lot of
odds on my kit....???

Never mind the quality, missus, feel the width :-)

I've no idea if vinyl weight really makes a difference - these just
didn't feel like quality product. They came complete with lots of 'vinyl
shavings' across the surface, and generally didn't give the impression
of being well produced.
