I've had two experiences buying defective LPs.

You have to go searching on Matador's bulletin board to find any information about it, although I just searched for it again and couldn't find the info. But to their credit, they will replace your bad LP with a good one.
I can't help but wonder why they wouldn't just recall all the LPs and have the pressing plant correct the problem?

To Sub Pop's credit, they replaced the defective LP, except the replacement was also defective.
Lately, I've bought several LPs that were pressed in Europe, and I've found that the quality of the vinyl is better and the pressings sound much cleaner.
I wonder why domestic pressings seem to be of lesser quality?
Anyone else have similar problems?
