I have about 1000 vinyl records, in varying conditions. I collect according to my interests and don't need them to be in perfect condition - just not too scratchy, and basically listenable.
I know some of you in the A&M Corner group have a lot of technical knowledge about records and recording, and I was wondering if you had the answer to a question I've had since I was a teenager 40 years ago.
Why does the first on side 2 of a vinyl record have a tendancy to have a skip or a "stick" on it? I don't have any concrete examples off-hand, but I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that. Back when I bought new vinyl all the time, I noticed it even with the new vinyl. If there was a defect, it would usually be on the first track of side 2.
Thanks for any ideas you can give me on the subject.
