Default Anyone else get tired of fingerprints on new re issues?
Gosh we're paying what $30-$60 usually for reissues? I've noticed this mostly on speakers corner...but also a few of my music matters....

And I am not talking a single finger...the whole grimy set of paws... on both sides and sometimes a few hand prints on each side...

I use a Keith Monks Machine and his fluid...but I can seem to get this stuff off easily...and it can't be good for the LP's...

Any others have this problem? Surely the pressing plants can ask they workers to wear gloves...

I've seen the same thing also and was thinking exactly the same thing the other day when I unwrapped a new MM jazz release. I think that's in part why Chad left RTI: their Q/C had fallen off dramatically.

Yes, I have had this problem on reissues on supposedly superior vinyl. And I also have a Keith Monks RCM. One online dealer I use a lot, who does not have any problems with exchanging vinyl and refunding costs is Diverse Vinyl here in the UK.

Analogue Productions seem the best for clean vinyl.
