    ^^^ Yeah, that is strange!  I have never seen excess edge vinyl like that.  My biggest frustration that way has been spindle holes that have not been cut properly and won't fit down over the spindle.  It is nerve wracking to have to take am X-acto knife to that hole!
    I just PUSH DOWN REALLY HARD. :lol:

    I actually did that once a long time ago figure that would ream out the spindle hole.  And then I tried taking the record off!  Oh no!!! :lol:

    I've seen it really bad once.  The ultimate Mystery boxes had the fixer records untrimmed.  They were cool as hell.  I wanted one but the guy was taking the highest bidder so I didn't bother.

    Yes.  They were actual records with the smush on the edges.  I tried to find a pic but gave up...

    Not a completist question but this seems like a good thread to ask, lol.

    My friend gave me a copy of No Code last night and when I pulled out the LP it had a bit of excess vinyl hanging off the edge (pics below, lol). It snapped off without issue thankfully and I’ll be spinning it later.

    Now my question, lol. I’m just curious how often this happens, as this was the first time I’ve come across it.


    Very nice gift.  I'd bust a sweat breaking that off. Could have lost Sometimes and broke your Habit.
