      I have the Century 2-LP gatefold - bought used but looked unplayed, found a couple skips on side one plus some weird areas like there is a hole in the music- anyone else experience this? I’d like to purchase another copy but fearful it’s maybe a pressing issue - like the later Re-issues - any thoughts?

        I just got the new pressing of the black version, (actually is just a reissue of the 2018 version, cause the sleeve says 2018) and there are a lot of crackles in the D side. Anyone else who has this problem?
