U.G.K.* – Too Hard To Swallow

Sounds great, its a bit warped but I couldn't care less, it doesn't affect sound. The vinyl itself is really beautiful, a very unique and vibrant green/yellow color, the booklet insert is also a fun addition. And last but not least, I love every song on this album. Def recommend

I recently swapped my ROTM for this album and found both discs to be dished and my album cover arrived split. I've ed VMP customer service for a replacement. I was crossing my fingers to be a lucky one with a flat copy but hopefully the replacement will be better. Great album otherwise! Sounds awesome.

Was this originally released in a longbox, with a blue hype sticker?

Mine is a bit warped, but it doesn't affect sound quality. The LPs sound and look amazing, packaging is nice. One of my favourite albums. Definitely recommended

I had avoided this one off the reports of warping, but then when my time to choose my free records for resubscribing came, I rolled the dice. It's warped, fairly significantly. But it plays, so it stays. I am on an ancient Technic 1200 and AT vmn40ml. Honestly, it sounds pretty great, so...

May have to buy a VMP sleeve to put over this and make the “ultimate” version.

My replacement showed up today just as warped as my original. My turntable can track through most of my warped records, but with this one half the record isn't touching the platter, even with a record clamp. This is the worst quality I have seen yet from VMP. Maybe with the exception of the Art Blakey - Chippin' In, which was scratched to hell, even the replacement copies.

Great album! This repress does sound good and it hits pretty hard on a decent system. But I had the same problems with warping. My first copy was like a dish bowl warp, the second Replacment copy was almost just as bad. But I am keeping the copy regardless. It still sounds really good and is a UGK under appreciated classic.

FWIW just got my copy today and it is perfectly flat and sounds great, no warp. So there are good copies in this pressing just keep trying, sounds hit or miss! But when it hits - it hits.

UPDATE: I received a replacement copy and it’s just as warped as the first. It seems like this entire pressing is a bad batch.

My copy also came exceptionally warped. I collect records to play them, not flip them, so I normally don’t mind a few imperfections, but this is the first time I’ve had a really bad copy from VMP. Replacement is on the way, hopefully it will be better.
