That one that Bruce put up on YouTube looked good and didn't sound noisy.
I'm guessing that the material used to make the records didn't hold up as
well as the material used on more expensive records.

We've all made jokes about the quality and crappy sound of GG records, but
Theodore Lyman Shaw always insisted his records were high quality and
comparable to any major label's recordings.  Okay fine, public relations
claims aside, why were GGs so bad... or is this only true for some of the
pressings and not all?
