Quality of Vinyl

I'm a huge vinyl record fan. Love the sound and the feel of it. Makes me feel a little more connected to the music than a CD or mp3. I was super excited about getting Back Spacer in. I pre-ordered the album and everything. I got it in yesterday and put it on my record player...and something just wasn't right. The songs seem to skip every now and then and the beginning of some songs even sound warped. Has anyone else ran into this problem with the vinyl? Also, was anyone else who purchased the album a little upset that there wasn't a digital download card inside the sleeve? Love the new album, love Pearl Jam, wished I loved the vinyl. Who knows, maybe I just got a "bad" copy.
peace,
Aaron

That technique isn't good for your records. If you have to do that to get the record to play correctly you should look into other solutions, like purchasing a new stylus. The penny trick does long-term damage to records by exerting too much pressure and flattening the grooves over time.
