I heard picture discs sound crummy but mine is BAD.
To be honest, I've never tried to play an LP picture disc in my life. I have a bunch of them too. I know that doesn't make you feel any better, but I do know the pain of getting a damaged record that won't play.

Weird, mine sounds fine. I also have the trilogy, and it sounds great.
Cleaned your stylus lately? I know that when mine gets dirty, it sounds awful.

What do you mean by "crummy"? a more precise description would be better. It is well known that picture discs can't deliver the high quality of a fine black vinyl pressing, specially when we talk about the first pressing of a good old album, when the entire recording process was analog.
Black vinyl>Coloured vinyl>Picture disc
Its a Known Fact! that Coloured Vinyl is not as Good for pressing quality as normal black vinyl. It wears out faster and sounds poorer generally.
Its a good Rule of thumb to check your Stylus, use another Record to compare, it could be tracking weight problems or a worn Stylus.
It would be a real good idea to replace your Stylus Just the same.
Define *bad*
in terms of Sound quality or characteristics compared to Say the CD VS your LP.
Also in terms of sound Level too.
I have tried other records and they sound great. I have another copy of freak puke that sounds great. The bad copy has a ton of pops and hissing. Brand new needle on a sl 1200 mk2 everything is balanced. The records that sound the best are old skinny puppy and grateful dead original pressings.
is it the Skinner by any chance?
No I have the skinner and haven't played it. The crummy one is the Mcpherson.

You're obviously mistaken. If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP! :lol:
